Make sure your first person character can move your story along. This course is for writers with an idea for a character already in place or writers that are ready to invent a character. Throughout the six weeks, you will "meet" and define your character, get inside the physicality of your character, and develop your character's voice. This course includes discussion, in-class writing activities, group sharing, and mini "homework" assignments.
