SUMMARY:Developing Characters in Fiction
DESCRIPTION:This event: May be of interest to the LGBTQ community || Many great novels and stories are often described as “character-driven\,” fueled by particularly vivid and memorable people. This class will explore the craft of developing and deepening character in fiction\, with a focus on creating sensory and imagistic details that make characters feel strange\, vivid\, and alive. We will read a selection of remarkable character descriptions for inspiration\, then participate in generative writing prompts to create new characters and/or deepen our understanding of old ones. || $34
