Smelting Personas
Stop writing characters. Start forging personas.
Tired of the vague, intimidating advice that your characters lack development'? Clueless to what that actually means in pragmatic terms? You’re not alone. It comes up time and again in confused conversations in my writing groups and workshops.
Truly great character writing means living and breathing it. But how?there's only one way: by learning a new way of seeing.
In the ‘Smelting Personas’ course, we get straight to the heart of you characters by teaching you how to stitch character into every fibre of a scene. You’ll master the underlying craft of linking your character’s emotions to the world they inhabit. You’ll learn to transform a simple room into a vessel of unique subjectivity through tried and tested techniques, with plenty of guidance along the way.
Take this class in conjunction with class #1 Forging Description and learn how to build character from the ground up.
Enrol now and transform your writing from 'meh' to 'magnetic'!
