Description
The course is designed to assist in the learning and implementing the process of story and character development. All aspects from the story theme, plot, and sub-plots, will be discussed. The introduction, rise to actions, climax, conflict resolution, and resolution will be discussed in great detail. The course will also assist the student in learning and implementing the process of character development. This includes developing character personalities, changing personalities, introducing characters, and character identification. I will also discuss how these all tie in together, and end the course will a discussion on how to end your book and why. This course is broken down into modules that will take you step-by-step through each module. Writing a story is like writing many smaller stories within the same main theme. This concept keeps your readers interested. Each sub-plot may share some or all of your characters and introduce new ones. Readers like to not only follow a story but the lives of the story. Therefore, story and character development are paramount to a successful book. The trickiest part is pulling it all together as you approach the end of your book. This course will teach you how to achieve each of these aspects.
