Lafayette Writers' Studio
Building Fictional Relationships through Dialogue, Ritual, and Objects with Writer Tommy Dean ONLINE
April 15, 11:00 am
online
Story starts with character. In flash, word count limit and pressure the writer to create characters quickly, but specifically and uniquely if they want to form dynamic and affecting stories. The character is often our vehicle for the camera and the point of view. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to reveal characters through their relationships with other characters, to show the fissures in relationships, and the tension in counterpointed or opposite characters to create tension and conflict, to build resonance, and a sense of possibility.
