What You Will Learn?
- Are you a beginner looking for a stress-free way to start creative writing? Or an advanced student in need of a 'booster class' to help you develop richer characters? Then this class is for you. .
- Through a simple exercise, we will invent moments from a character's past, present and future as a way to give weight to them, to make them feel more real. You will begin to explore the connections between your character's memories or aspirations to their present-day psyche and psychology. .
- Again, this class is for all experience levels as well as writers of all mediums - short story writers, novelists, non-fiction writers and of course my fellow screenwriters. .
- Towards the end we'll discuss case-studies that will cement the class's discussion even more. .
