Writers Block Electives
You will sign up for two electives when you register.
Villains We Love to Hate—Every hero needs a great villain! This class dives into what makes an antagonist compelling, from motivations and flaws to memorable quirks. We'll discuss how to create complex, believable "bad guys" who add depth to your story and leave readers hooked.
Setting the Scene—Make your story’s setting a character of its own! This writers block dives into sensory details to transform ordinary places into vibrant worlds. Discover how to layer in sounds, smells, textures, and more to make readers feel like they're right there in your story.
Beyond the Pages: Fanfic Writing—Fanfiction can be a fun way to practice writing with characters and settings you are familiar with. Learn how to use it as a stepping stone for building skills to take the stories you love and create your own original characters and worlds.
Dialogue Do’s and Don’ts—Dialogue is one of the most dynamic tools in storytelling. In this class, discover how to avoid stilted or unrealistic exchanges, develop each character’s voice, and use dialogue to reveal personality and advance the plot.
