Emotional Mastery for Fiction Writers: How to Effectively Show Emotion in Characters & Evoke Emotion
SEE EVENT DETAILS
To be an effective writer, we must master the emotional challenge of our stories. It won't do to hope we will move our readers in some way. It won't do to hope we get across our characters' emotions.
Emotional mastery requires writers to set up the dynamics of a scene in such a visual, textural way that readers can't help but feel what they are meant to feel. Understanding that emotional mastery requires a twofold approach--the emotional landscape of both the character and the reader--is the first step.
In this master class, you'll be given tools to show emotions in your characters. You'll be given techniques to help spark emotional response in your readers. What is going to bring it all together for you is practice. Study and practice. And you'll be given exercises in this course to help you put into practice what you learn.
