Story Stew University

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

A great Villain may kill your heroine - but nothing kills a story faster than a weak antagonist.

In this class we will explore different types of Antagonists: anti-heroines, seducers, pirate queens and rebels, bumblers, psychos, ghosts and aliens, and more.

Learn to use back-story, world view, and the Lure of the Dark Side to create rich, compelling opposition for your heroines.

Examine ways to Confront the Dark Side and learn how to select the most appropriate ones for your heroine.

Writing exercises will include scene variations in character description and in confrontation styles to familiarize you with many options for creating Great Villains.

[Based on Pamela's book, THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE, published by Michael Wiese Prods.]
