03/01/10 - Online Workshop: The 4 C's: Building Characters and Plot with Sue Viders and Becky Martinez
KOD is proud to present:
Killer Instinct - March
Title: The 4 C's: Building Characters and Plot
Instructor: Sue Viders and Becky Martinez
Class Description: Building a truly great character can be a mystery, especially when the writer is trying to fit that character into today's action driven plot. Join us for an interactive workshop that can help with both.
As introduced in the book, Ten Steps to Creating Memorable Characters, the Four C's help to define a character's role in a book, even as it assists the writer in beginning to construct a fast-paced plot.
By discovering the character's path, both internally and externally, through the use of the four C's, a writer can begin to shape the protagonists as the plot unfolds.
The class includes lectures with exercises offered after each lecture.
Participants will receive critiques and advice from both Becky and Sue on their exercises. Other class members will also be invited to provide ideas and advice.
Instructor Bio: Sue and Becky have been teaching on-classes for many years, as a team and individually. They have presented at numerous conferences together and separately. Both have given sessions at the national Romance Writers of America Conference.
Sue Viders is the author of more than 20 books, numerous articles and columns for both artists and writers. Her writing book Heroes and Heroines, Sixteen Master Archetypes, is used in many college and university writing courses. Her book, 10 Steps to Creating Memorable Characters is gaining use as a practical workbook for writers who want to develop their characters. Her
latest product for writers is Deal a Story; an interactive card game consisting of 101 cards and six sections and is based on her Heroes and Heroines book.
Sue lives in Lone Tree, CO with her husband. Her five grown children and six grandkids live nearby.
Becky Martinez is an award-winning former broadcast journalist and published author. Her latest book, Deadly Messages will be published by The Wild Rose Press in February 2010.
