SUMMARY:How to Prevent Your Characters From Becoming Too Stupid To Live (TSTL) with Victoria Landis (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Why DOES the babysitter open the closet door instead of running 
 out of the house? Because the writer(s) couldn't take the time to find a 
 PLAUSIBLE way to get her into the trouble they wanted her in. And while 
 that's a humorous trope about a movie genre\, similar things happen far too 
 often in novels. TSTL is an intensive 'Let's-put-our-heads-together' 
 workshop designed to help you prevent future readers from wanting to toss 
 your labor of love (your book) out the window when a character does 
 something ridiculous to place them where you want them.\n\nVICTORIA LANDIS 
 is the author of 3 novels & a compendium of humor columns. She served for 4 
 years as Co-Chair of the Florida Chapter of Mystery Writers of America's 
 SleuthFest Writers Conference. She's taught writing craft at SleuthFest\, 
 Murder on the Beach's Author's Academy\, and the Alvin Sherman Library at 
 Nova Southeastern University.\n\n \n\nIf you would like to attend online

 on-demand viewing April 14 – September 4.\n\n\n\n \n\nSponsored by the 
 Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation.
