Understanding how setting\, plot\, and character are inextricably linked is vital to creating immersive narratives that keep the reader invested through to the last page.  \nIn this six-session generative virtual workshop\, participants will begin by exploring examples of the core elements of setting\, plot\, and characters working well together to create a cohesive storyline. We will do pre-writing exercises focused on drafting complicated characters who connect to the reader’s emotions and make them want to keep reading.  Then we will move through a series of setting exercises that build the details of place and transport the reader there. This generative work will prime writers for creating memorable stories with believable characters navigating the worlds they inhabit. \nThis course is open to fiction writers of all backgrounds and skill levels\, 18+. \nStudents will leave this workshop with:  \n\nA character empathy map\nA full character profile\nA developed setting for their story\n\nJoin us for the Lit Minds Book Club on March 12!
