In this course, students will learn how to create memorable characters using GMC (goal, motivation and conflict). Craft lessons will include developing the writer’s voice, the heart of the novel, POV, and how to layer in conflict. There will be fun, interactive writing prompts. Worksheets will be provided. The students will learn about story outlining, and how to plot a novel or short story using the three-act structure. There will be workshopping with other students and invaluable writer resources will be shared. By the end of the course, students will learn how to draft and revise their stories.
