Goal
Generate & Create
For this intentionally kind session for beginners or those in need of a refresher, come prepared to create characters based on people you know (and combinations thereof), as well as characters based on your passion, your interest, your curiosity, and your imagination. We’ll practice direct and indirect methods of characterization, and exercises will help you get to know your characters' internal and external lives. Finally, we'll identify significant details to make your characters come alive on the page.
