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.
For example: 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.
