Wayne Ude who taught in the Whidbey Island MFA program is doing an Advanced Character workshop on Sunday Feb 11 and Saturday Feb 17 from 11 am- 5pm at NoteWordies (636 7th Ave, Kirkland). How do we show personality, integrity, lack of integrity and all the other elements which make up character? Explore personality, character and characterization, including in your own writing, in this intensive workshop. We’ll begin by examining various levels and types of characters and their uses. After that we’ll spend our time exploring and trying various methods of creating characters, including description, dialogue, action, reactions to other characters, reactions by other characters, inner representation, tone, and narrative commentary.
