Starting Your Novel with Character and Conflict: A NaNoWriMo Writing Workshop

A novel starts with you. Your life views shape the characters in your books. Which life view will be the theme of your next novel? Get ready for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in this 3-hour writing workshop. Bring a notebook or a laptop and your library card. Discover how a novel’s theme sets up the internal and external plots and establishes the main character’s fatal flaw. Explore the relationships of the primary characters in your novel by delving in their conflicts at multiple levels to develop their back story. Use this knowledge to help you write your novel day by day in November.

Date: Saturday, October 12, 2019
Time: 10:00am – 1:00pm
Location: Downtown Upstairs Meeting Room

I hope to see you at this free writing workshop next Saturday! Anastasia
