Reminder! April 15, 2020: 
Call #2 100-Word Critiques ☕️
Hi Friend,

How are you? Hope you're doing well and staying safe and taking care of your creative soul. If you need anything, please let me know.

***

I look forward to reconnecting with you this week for Call #2, the second group of the month.

Thursday, April 16, 2020 at 
5:30pm PT / 7:30pm CT / 8:30pm ET

Calls last up to 90 minutes.

Please RSVP. Thanks! The call will be recorded.

** Reminder: Send in up to 100-words ahead of time. Details below. **



Our Focus: 100-word critiques on narrative and/or dialogue

In our call, we'll go over 100-word critiques with/or narrative -- could be setting, inner thought, action, etc., AND/OR dialogue.

Optional: As we do we'll draft up some principles to keep in mind as you write and edit.

Focus: What makes readers care about your characters?

Use these 5 questions to see if you have these 5 emotional components in each scene:
  • Is your character like us? Can we recognize ourself in them?
  • Do we feel pity for them for a misfortune they've suffered or are suffering?
  • Do they care for someone other than themselves and show that caring?
  • Do we admire them because they've done something or are doing something heroic, funny, skilled, or clever?
  • Do we know why they struggle after their goal? Do we know what's at stake for them?

(From "Emotional Core: Empathy Formula" in the Plan Your Novel course here:


We'll also:

-- do our Metaphor Check-ins

-- share announcements and next steps

Bring your questions to the call.


We'll also have a good time connecting!

Thanks!

PS. If you can't attend, you can still send in your questions, though you must be present for us to critique your work.
