Navigating the Seven Cs of Scene Writing with Dorian Cirrone (Online)
Whether your project has five scenes or fifty, each scene should grow from the previous one to create a well-structured and compelling story, no matter what you're writing. In this hands-on workshop we’ll look at exactly what scenes are and examine the components necessary to engage readers and move your story forward. If you have scenes from a work in progress, have them ready to revise. If not, bring an idea you might want to include in a future project so you can begin to craft a captivating scene.
