Crafting the Character Arc

jennie jarvis

Don’t miss a great learning experience on Thursday, December 11th at 7 p.m. Many writers think that, just because they have their basic structure in place, their stories are destined to succeed. The problem with many narratives can often come in those places between the plot points. Ensuring that the story is moving forward in every scene often comes in the shape for the character arc. In this workshop, Jennie Jarvis, author of Crafting the Character Arc: A Practical Guide to Character Creation and Development, will give writers a tangible guide for creating a goal-driven story that never drags its feet, only at the Alafaya Branch of Orlando Public Library, 12000 E. Colonial Dr., Orlando, FL 32828.
