Instructor:Becky Martinez and Sue Viders
Cost: FREE to FTHRW
members; $20.00 for all others
Registration Deadline: April 30th, 2008
Course Description:
Building a plot and creating characters go hand in hand.
Both have to work for the readers or they may feel cheated.
This class can help the writer interweave plot and character
so that both work together. The result is a character who
truly belongs in this novel and a plot that moves along at
a good, structured pace. The plotting wheel is actually a
series of elements that all good books contain and that the
writer needs to move the character through the plot. Filled
with examples, quick exercises and lots of interaction, this
class can help structure a novel and build an interesting
character as well. Whether you're a beginning writer or working
on your tenth book, this class can help you put character
and plot together.
