December 2015: Bah Humbug! Character Arc, the Scrooge Way with Teresa Morgan


In December 1843, Charles Dickens published a little story that became a sensation. In it, a misanthropist misery turns into a philanthropic optimist… overnight.

This beloved story has the widest and craziest character arc in all of Western literature (and the most flawless three-act structure). This workshop examines how Dickens pulled off making a character you love to hate (but still identify with) take a 12-hour 180 degree turn, changing his life forever.

Bring a pen and paper to do some interactive exercises that will help you pull off one of the most difficult parts of your own story with style.

Teresa Morgan is a multi-published local Ottawa author of hot contemporary sheikh romances. This workshop is proof that all the money she spent on her degree in English Literature didn’t go completely to waste.
