The author life includes big and little splurges to indulge our interest for a topic or to use in our research. As many of you know, one of the genres I write is historical fiction. What you may not know is that I love castles, especially medieval castles, which I did lots of research for The Impaler’s Wife. Everyone needs a castle, right? So I bought one…the only one I can afford. A European castle tour is on my bucket list too. What did you splurge on while writing a story?
Leave a comment and tell me. I’d love to know…and also know that I’m not the only one who does this. LOL.
MASTER CLASS The Power of Archetype & Write a More Masterful Sentence A great story has great characters. Memorable characters that leap from the page do more than just entertain. The reader relates and learns from them. Discover how to create believable and nuanced characters that drive plot and enhance conflict by teasing out all the strengths and weaknesses found in archetypes.
There are many ways to tell a story and even more ways to write the scenes and sentences within. An ordinary sentence may move the plot forward, but a masterful sentence or scene does so much more! A purpose-driven scene enhances mood, tone, characterization, conflict, plot, theme, and emotion.
Discover the author techniques and literary devices to create evocative and layered prose that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. This course provides both a literary and real-life approach to:
• characterization
• archetypes
