In this workshop, attendees will learn how to structure the simple building blocks of scenes to write more dramatic fiction:
- Learn how to imbue [M]eaning in scenes by showing the reader the impossible dilemmas your protagonist must grapple with to overcome obstacles in the way of their goal.
- Discover exactly what’s lacking in so-called “flat” stories and in characters described as “cardboard”—and then learn how to fix it by applying the right amount of [I]ntellectual Stimulation.
- Uncover the often overlooked technique that makes [C]onflict so critical in dramatic storytelling, and learn why piling on the conflict isn’t enough (hint—it’s not about the conflict, it’s about how your protagonist responds to it).
- See how [E]motional Intensity, and the current State-of-Being of your protagonist, provides the ultimate compass in writing dramatic fiction, and how proper application of this concept literally shapes your scenes.
