Writing
Writing a Novel or Short Story
Participants will learn how to successfully create, develop, or complete your
novel or short story by FIRST focusing on the basics, such as character development,
scene creation, and a fully developed plot, which will enable you to construct
a coherent, satisfying story scene-by-scene, and chapter-by-chapter. Just as
importantly, you'll learn how to avoid the biggest mistakes, such as jumping
in at page one with no real idea how your story will develop or even how it will
end. Getting to know all your major and minor characters first, as well as all
the main conflicts and actions of your story, will make your writing a far more
manageable and rewarding experience.
