Presented by : Shelley Bradley
Cost : $15 (RWA members); $20 (Non members)
Workshop Description :
Hate blinking cursors or rewriting? Have a very time-pressed schedule? To avoid all of those and maintain sanity in the middle of deadlines and challenging books requires a little more pre-plotting than Ready with some characters, Set with an opening scene, Go!
Storyboarding for the Story Challenged uses different formats (and thus, different parts of your brain) to help you construct your plot. Part visual, part analytical, this method of storyboarding allows you to plot the skeleton of a story or put all the story flesh on its bones, right down to the last freckle or drop of sweat.
The storyboarding method also allows you to:
a) write a quick, concise synopsis that enables you to more accurately state what your book will be about when it's finished
b) find plot holes
c) determine if you've dropped threads, characters, props or themes
d) know your characters, the story and how motivation ties in before you ever start writing
e) and lots more!!
