Maureen Fisher shares the secrets of creating a compelling story through each character’s goals, motivation, and conflict.
About this event
The key to an engaging story has always been the characters and how they interact. A writer should know each character’s goal (what they want), motivation (why they want it), and conflict (why they can’t have it). Maureen Fisher will guide attendees through the nuances of crafting and identifying goal, motivation, and conflict to ensure your readers keep on turning pages late into the night.
Date and time
Sun, April 3, 2022; 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM EDT
Tickets $25+fees, or Free to ORW members (only $60 for a year’s membership!)
