SUMMARY:Unlock the Power of Action and Reaction (Understanding Scene and Sequel) [Zoom Workshop]
DESCRIPTION:Beginner writers all suffer the same challenges: passive characters\, uneven pacing\, meandering plot and the dreaded “Happy People in Happyland.” Readers crave active protagonists\, characters who chase their goals and drive the story forward with the choices they make in the face of adversity. Non-stop action can be just as boring as a story where nothing happens. Finding that balance between action and reaction is the key to writing a character driven story that’s full of delicious page turning tension. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll delve into scene structure and how understanding the cause-and-effect trajectory of your character’s journey not only strengthens your novel’s conflict and internal story logic\, but also means richer\, more three-dimensional characters. Whether you’re a discovery writer letting your characters take the reins or hardcore plotter writing to narrative goalposts\, you’ll find that understanding scene structure can be a key part of your prep process\, the secret to better flashlight drafting\, a gut check to guide your revision\, or a tool for diagnosing story issues and beating writer’s block. \n\n$10 per person\, free for NJRW members \n\nRegister Here
