4-Week: Mining the Layers—Deepening Your Story

$240.00 Members

So much of writing is emotional excavation, carefully digging through each layer until we reach the bedrock of truth. In this four-week course, we’ll dig beyond the surface to find true character motivations and develop a richer, deeper story. We’ll learn how to mine character backstory to inform their present choices, how to more deeply explore theme during revisions, and how to use iterative writing cycles to layer in more texture and specificity. No story is written in a single draft, and it's only through the process of writing, rewriting, and revising that we truly discover the heart of our story and our characters.

This class is best suited for fiction writers who have a completed draft and are looking for what to do next, intermediate to experienced writers looking to deepen their storytelling, and anyone who has taken Jenny's previous introductory courses.
