Workshop Description:
These cornerstones of storytelling are the foundation for page-turning fiction that readers love. With story and character goals on the page, with strong motivation for every decision, conflict will be clear and will demand a powerful resolution. GMC is often discussed in terms of story, or plot in the larger context of fiction.
This is not what you’ll hear from me.
In this webinar we’ll discuss GMC in scenes and sequels…the small blocks of prose that move your story and take your reader to its conclusion. In romance, that’s a happy ending.
In this webinar I’ll explain the practical side of GMC theory:
- How to put GMC in every scene you write
- How to avoid reader boredom and keep them engaged
- The nuts and bolts of page-turning fiction
