Do your characters talk to you while you’re taking a shower? Do they wake you up in the middle of the night with their own ideas and emotions?  If you want to create rich, layered characters who walk through your plot in ways even you can’t anticipate, this workshop will help you. Take a deep dive into the minds of your characters – existing or new – based on nine criteria that we will help you define.
