Tuesday, October 6, 2009 -€“ 6:00 p.m. eastern time

Plot and structure.

We are going to discover why many beginning (and often advanced) writers create fiction with no story. We will map out the key elements of plot and structure, and what makes a story a story.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 -€“ 6:00 p.m. eastern time

Description and detail

Our goal is to understand the true purpose of description and detail, and why neither should be treated as fluff information strewn blindly throughout the story.

Tuesday, October 20, 2009 – 6:00 p.m. eastern time

Point of View and Dialogue

We are going to study the various viewpoints and learn tricks and tips to make your story come alive. We are also going to delve into the  intricacies of solid dialogue.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 -€“ 6:00 p.m. eastern time

Creating great characters

Then we are going to wrap it all up with the unifying element: character. We will endeavor to find ways of turning the cardboard into well-rounded, flesh and blood people.

To sign up, simply drop me an email (writingwithknost@yahoo.com) with your choice of payment. I will then send you an email with the information needed to make the payment.

Remember, first come, first serve…
