Siblings and Getting to the Heart of the Story
Sibling relationships are the primary engine of emotional conflict and growth in a young persons life. It is a uniquely intense and enduring relationship and can do much to propel your story’s plot and deepen its themes. This workshop will help you find a dozen concrete ways think about how the sibling dynamic will work in your particular family constellation and three exercises to help you harness the power of the sibling relationship to enhance your story.
I’m very honored to be able to present the workshop Finding Gold in your Setting at SCBWI Hawaii.
Just wanted to take a moment to thank the Oregon SCBWI for putting on a great retreat this weekend. A great balance of inspiring talks, time to work, and time to just hang out and talk with fellow writers and artists. I’ve been working like a fiend all summer long so it was great to have one weekend to recharge my creative energy. And views like this were icing on the cake.
I’ll be speaking on the topic of sibling relationships in fiction at all levels. You can sign up for the event here. http://www.cvent.com/events/2015-2016-scbwi-wwa-monthly-program-passport/event-summary-1ae6848e72be4826b794bc96cf7bd742.aspx
