A Novel in November Writing Workshops with Marcie Rendon
In this session we will consider our main characters’ back stories. What was the defining moment in each character’s life that made them who they are in the ‘today’ of your novel? What does each character want more than anything in the world? What are they willing to do to get it? We will also continue to develop the setting that will support and determine the action of your characters.
