Workshop: Getting to Know Your Characters
Characters are what drive a story. Their actions form the plot and raise the stakes. Their thoughts and personalities make the reader emotionally invested. As the writer, you must know your characters inside and out. In this workshop, we'll review techniques for turning your characters into fully formed people.
