A novel starts with you. Your life views shape the characters in your books. Which life view will be the theme of your next novel? Get ready for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in this 3-hour writing workshop. Bring a notebook or a laptop and your library card. Discover how a novel's theme sets up the internal and external plots and establishes the main character's fatal flaw. Explore the relationships of the primary characters in your novel by delving in their conflicts at multiple levels to develop their back story. Use this knowledge to help you write your novel day by day in November. Developmental editor Anastasia Suen has written and edited books for children, teens, and adults and mentored writers around the globe in her online workshops.

Time: October 12, 2019 from 10 AM – 1 PM @ Downtown Library
