Remote Session (OCWW is remote only through Dec. 2020)
They say your characters aren't really real until they start to talk back to you, but how do you make that happen? In this session, we'll discuss techniques for fleshing out characters who can help steer your narrative, and infuriate, puzzle, surprise and endear themselves to readers.
