This workshop invites you to pause and look beneath the surface of your stories, honoring the vulnerabilities and dreams that move both your characters and yourself. This isn’t just a craft lesson. You’ll be guided through gentle exercises that reveal the core fears at the center of your protagonist’s arc.
With practical tools, empathetic coaching, and thoughtful self-reflection, you’ll see how tapping into these emotional truths unlocks deeper conflict, richer transformations, and the kind of scenes that stay with readers long after The End.
Whether you’re revising a romance, plotting fantasy, or exploring any genre where character evolution matters, this session provides a framework for mapping emotional arcs, linking them to meaningful plot moments, and working with your writing style instead of against it.
