You’ve
got the idea but don’t know how to develop the story?
Discover
your next novel, screenplay or book of
creative nonfiction.
Purpose:
To expand
your story idea into a fully developed structure.
This
great idea keeps nudging you but you can’t quite find the story? Or
you’ve got this terrific but tight-lipped character who won’t reveal
enough to support your novel?
Maybe
you’re obsessed with a set of facts, an event, even a philosophy that
refuses to be shoehorned into your story. Or you have little more
than just a strong feeling, an emotion you're compelled to write about.
Unfortunately, your story idea is little more than smoke.
Whether
woven from whole cloth or based in reality, story needs a shape, a clearly
identifiable premise and an empathetic main character.
Come
armed with your story idea, or simply your reason to write whatever it is
you need to write about, and a burning desire to participate: Key to
individual accomplishment is group synergy.
When we’re finished you’ll know your story absolutely:
Character, structure, sub-plots, potential dramatic choices and, most
important, your premise.
