BASIC TRACK
STORY CONFLICT
(Connie)
Without conflict there is no story. But what is conflict and how is it driven by character and plot? It stems from the obstacles to the character's goal and from the consequences of character action as well as the push/pull between characters and the pressures from the plot. This course will focus on using all the necessary tools to make conflict sizzle on every page.
External Conflict
Extreme Differences
How Plot Pressures Characters
The Action Arc
Questions? Email Connie at Bootcamp4Novelists@cox.net
POLISH TRACK SUBPLOTS AND LAYERING
(Linda)
Some of the most successful techniques used by bestselling authors are the judicious use of subplots and layering, both of which add depth, texture and interest to a story. But many writers don't make full use of their subplots and sometimes even mistake a secondary plot for a subplot. Many writers believe layering is simply adding more stuff to make it interesting. Not so. In this class, you'll learn the intricacies of subplot and layering and how to use them to your story's best advantage. In this class you'll learn:
What the subplot can do for your story
The start, the finish and why
Weaving, braiding, intersecting and all that jazz
The secret ingredients of the subplot
