"Unearthing Bodies: Digging Deep To Uncover the Psychology of Creating Characters"

Do writers create story characters from their imaginations, or from real people they encounter in every day life? Forget what you previously thought. Everything you need to know about creating characters--protagonists AND antagonists-- is within YOU. In this fast-paced, mini-workshop presented by award-winning author and writing teacher, Kimberly Ivey, you will learn how the psychology of the writer is directly connected to his or her ability to create successful story characters. Dig deep into the psyche of all your story's major players--the good, the bad and the ugly--and learn how to unearth memorable, compelling story people readers will be talking about for years.
