In this class you'll learn how to make the black moment the most powerful scene in your story. $22 ________________________________ BUILDING SUBPLOTS & LAYERS When story action gets high, with lots going on, the pros know how to divide the story lines so they can stay in control.

A swaggering, broad-shouldered, chivalrous hero keeps walking through your head and you can't come up with an idea good enough for him. A publishing house puts out a call for a particular kind of story and nothing comes to mind. Anything like this ever happen to you? This course is about pulling in threads that build on and expand that small seed of an idea until it becomes something that will live on paper. $22 ENROLL STORY CONFLICT Conflict is the final pillar of story structure. Without it, nothing truly matters. Not to the characters, not to the readers, and ultimately not to agents and editors. This courses shows you how to use contrast and pressure and action to build stories that crackle from page one to the end. $25 ENROLL ______________________________ CONNIE'S WINTER COURSES 2010 Rewriting and Revising Satisfying Endings Need more info?
