“Character is plot, plot is character.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

This class will discuss how to develop plot organically in a way that springs from character. Once a roadmap is developed, we will discuss how to maximize the dramatic potential of each scene to create a fulfilling narrative.

This class is suitable for intermediate writers.
