Understanding Character Motivations
We understand how launching out into a goal, a dream, or a serious endeavor like writing a novel is, well, daunting. You have the fire, the idea, and the characters, but how do you keep going?
(And going...)
As you begin the new year, we can help you hone your skills and achieve your writing goals. We are now offering single classes for non-members who would like to purchase lessons to help grow their writing careers.
Understanding Character Motivations
At MBT and Novel Academy, we ask why a lot! That's because those WHYs speak to what causes us to think, speak, and act in a specific way. Same goes for our characters. During this class, Lisa Jordan will share the different types of character motivations, why their importance is an essential part of your writing process, and how using those motivations will drive your characters' actions and decisions
What You Can Do, or Dream You Can, Begin It; Boldness Has Genius, Power, and Magic in It.
