Workshop #3: Story Circle

Story is all about the ups and downs your character goes on. So let's throw some ups and downs at them! But we will build them based on the character's wants and their position on the story's emotional backbone. This one-hour workshop will cover creating the story circle with plenty of examples
Workshop #4: Characters & Scenes (October, registration opens soon)
Lastly, we will cover the scenes and characters that are best to help your story come to life. This one-hour workshop will go in-depth on how side characters balance with your main character to help guide the story forward and which scenes are best to add to your story. The goal is for your story to have at least 40 scenes!
The a la carte Workshop price is $45 USD.
