Mastering Fiction - Vibrant Writing Through Connective Tissue
Summary:
When used properly, tone, foreshadowing, plot and character will greatly deepen a story. We'll discusses these techniques and how to use them in concert to create a stronger, more vibrant story.
Description:
In writing, there are many different techniques that are rarely discussed together. Foreshadowing, parallel threads, theme, tone, character building, and more. In this seminar, these topics are discussed from the viewpoint of strengthening the story as a whole, taking a story that feels loose and directionless and working with the material that's already there to make it strong and vibrant.
