Raising the Stakes
Whatever the stakes we’re trying to create, if the reader isn’t feeling it, we’re not doing our job as novelists. We’re going to examine big stakes and big tension by considering those scenes that make the spine tingle! It can be a real challenge to convey big feelings across the page and really communicate them viscerally to a reader. Especially when we’re going for fearful, intense, creepy, or dark scenes when we all know it’s going to work out just fine for our hero–she is the HERO, after all! A master storyteller will have readers feeling it just the same. Register for this creative writing workshop to take your protagonist’s stakes to new levels.
Writing Backstory into Your Now-Story
Backstory is not merely information about your hero’s past. It must have an immediate, even urgent, bearing on your plot’s present moment to deserve the ink it takes to write it into the story. Live writing workshop-register now.
I'm Alida
I help people express their gifts to the world.
I do not believe in formulas. I believe that the stories we are compelled to tell the world make demands on us, and it is our privilege to meet those demands in order to reach the most people in the most authentic and compelling way possible.
