Concept, Character, and Construct in Story Crafting
In this one-session class, we'll focus on the three C's—concept, character, and construct—to write and revise cross-genre stories. We'll work to identify when a story is best told through general or genre fiction, as well as how the three C's can be used to elevate a story. Discussion examples will revolve around the instructor's novels, Mem. Students are invited to submit short openings that introduce concept, world, or character before class.
