Put A Guy Up A Tree

Creative writing workshop focusing on story and structure. The workshop is based around coming up with an initial idea for a story, and then using that idea to generate characters, plot and structure. By the end of the session, participants will have the outline of a story, including a well-rounded protagonist, an antagonist, a three-act structure and an appropriate ending. Participants can either go away and write the story they have plotted out in the session, or use the framework to generate new ideas and stories (or apply the framework to their works in progress).

Topics:

• Structuring a story
• Characters with wants and needs
• Turning points
• Concise, engaging writing style
