WORKSHOP: Scene CPR: Breathing Life into an Ailing Scene
INSTRUCTOR: Laurin Wittig
DATE: March 15th- 31st 2010
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Scene CPR: Breathing Life into an Ailing Scene
Revision is where you get the opportunity to craft the story you’ve worked long and hard to draft, but do you know where to start? Do you need help with pacing? Characterization? Conflict? Do you waver over whose point of view a scene should be in? Laurin Wittig will show you a simple but powerful way to turn your ailing scene into a robust part of your story. If you’ve ever written a scene only to have it lie gasping for breath on the page, Scene CPR is just what you need.
AND
Scene CPR: The Sequel
How can you avoid head hopping yet reveal a non-point of view character’s reaction?
How can you reveal emotion and move your plot forward all in the same scene?
How can you weave in motivation without slowing down the action of your story?
When is a scene not a scene?
When it’s a sequel.
Laurin Wittig will teach you the power of the four stage sequel and how to combine it with your scenes to create a story that keeps your readers turning the pages long into the night.
