LLWRC 768 - Create Effective Characters

Memorable and resonant characters make for compelling stories. In addition to sharing your writing in a fun, supportive atmosphere, this workshop will get you thinking about how characters are shaped and developed through description, dialogue, and action. We'll also talk about concepts such as point-of-view, narrative stance, and the harder-to-define questions of charisma and voice. Please bring a work in progress to the first class--fiction, creative nonfiction/memoir, and poetry are all welcome.
