We are in the process of developing really strong characters. Without strong characters, a story will fall flat! The characters are who the reader connects to, so making them authentic is so important. One of the biggest things we are trying to discover about our characters is what they want more than anything in the world. Once we figure this out, we are setting up our conflict. Because, within the plot of our story we will make sure we make it really difficult for the character to get their desire. This makes a great plot.
The excitement and energy in the room the last few days is amazing. Everyone is really in to their writing and most importantly, everyone is working hard to take on the identity of a writer. We are getting a lot of awesome inspiration from one another too!
Tomorrow we will be collaborating in writing groups based on similarities in our writing topics or styles.
