This class is a part of the “Fiction Essentials” class package.
When you start out writing a work of fiction, you might have a character, a setting, a first paragraph… but what happens next?
Whether you write plot or character-driven stories, short fiction or novels, readers want to invest in characters trying to solve a problem. This is sometimes called “conflict”, but what does that mean, and how is it brought to life in a work of fiction? In this generative 3-hour class, we will discuss various kinds of “story-worthy” problems and we’ll practice techniques for discovering and creating truly vexing conflicts and situations that can carry a story’s plot from beginning to end.
TAKE THIS CLASS IF
- You write fiction and want to understand how to use conflict to make for better storytelling.
- You have trouble completing stories or novels because your plot loses steam.
- You want your fiction to be more exciting but you’re not sure how to get there.
- You enjoy in-class writing exercises that put instruction into practice.
The deadline to register for this class is Friday, March 17 at 5:00 PM CT.
