WWYDK Zoom Single Session "Tender Spots"
Tuesday, July 22, 2025, 3 – 5:30 PT, 6 – 8:30 ET
Before psychologists existed, writers were the ones to shed light on why people do what they do. Everybody does things for their own reasons—even though often we don’t know what those reasons are.
In this session, we’ll show you ways to discover what unseen forces shape personality and drive action, and give you techniques for bringing characters to life on the page.
What you’ll learn:
how to understand what drives a person’s actions
how to create strong, multi-dimensional characters: good and bad
how to give a sense of what it’s like to be in the presence of a particular person
how to honor the individuality of minor characters
how to convincingly portray a character with whom you seem to have nothing in common
