Let's explore the overall structure of a story and the various ways one can approach the creation of a new piece. During this session, you'll learn how to create characters who are 'living people,' not random personas, and how to place them in circumstances that provide them challenges. We'll explore how characters drive plot lines. On-the-spot exercises and prompts will give participants a solid foundation for a story they can continue beyond the session.
