Welcome to October: the month of fiction!
This month, we'll work on techniques to sharpen your storytelling skills, from description to dialogue, from tension to endings. First, you must begin with a character who has some issues. In order to get to know your character, I'd like you to fill out this questionnaire:
Character Questionnaire
As we proceed, I'll post other exercises here.
Homework over weekend of 10/11:
Read "Keith" by Ron Carlson. Think about the following questions:
What does Keith want most of all?
What does Barbara want most of all?
What are the problems getting in the way of each character's desire?
