Creating Memorable Characters

Creating memorable characters is a challenge for every writer.  Whether you want to enhance your understanding of a protagonist’s inner-life, discover their pressure points, or build a dynamic voice for them on the page, join us! This 90-minute online class is designed to invigorate your writing and help you generate exciting new work.  

The specific prompts will help you understand the unique “music” of a character’s diction, their self-justifications for a suspect interaction, and finally, the last prompt will lead you to their preoccupation du jour, the dominant thought that’s driving their behavior.

  • Craft talk: “The Charisma of Voice”

  • 3 Guided writing prompts

  • Opportunity for feedback from peers

As part of this class you'll also get access to Decant's private Facebook group for ongoing peer support and community building. Writing can be lonely -- when it’s just us and our C: Drives -- and we want to foster a writing community where we'll all have the necessary support to finish the next draft.

Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it’s the only way you can do anything really good.
