Writing Workshop: WANT! (Discovering What Your Character Wants)
Writing Workshop: Discovering What Your Character Wants
A Generative Writing Workshop
Saturday September 13, 10am–1pm PT on Zoom (yes, there’s a snack break)
This is a generative workshop, which is a fancy way of saying: we’re gonna write. A lot. Not talk about writing. Not stress about what should happen in act two. Just dive in and get messy with the thing you came here to do: tell a story.
Whether you’re staring at a blank page, knee-deep in a draft, or circling a new idea, this workshop is for you. You don’t need to have anything figured out. And if you do, this workshop can help you figure out some more!
Through guided writing exercises, we’ll dig into your characters, your voice, your story engine... all that good, juicy writery stuff. We’ll get curious about what your characters want (and what they’re avoiding), explore their emotional truths and belief systems, and maybe even bump into your own along the way. Super easy, right?
This is a one-time, three-hour session shaped by who’s in the (Zoom) room. I’ll meet you where you are, adjust as we go, and make sure the work we’re doing is actually useful to you.
So show up. Be open. Bring your coffee, your chaos, your curiosity, pen and paper, and a snack. Maybe two!
Let’s make a beautiful mess and find the story underneath it all.
