September 17-23 -- Block Busting: Putting The Joy Back In Writing
www.passionateink.com/workshops.
At some point, almost all writers suffer from the inability to tell
the story they want. Part of writer's block is a lack of joy in the process. So counselor Laurie Schnebly Campbell looks at
the causes -- including exhaustion, boredom and fear of success -- and the benefits of this block. Writers take home new awareness
of what works for them, and renewed inspiration for returning to the craft they love.
October 1–31 • Creating
Your Hero's Fatal Flaw
http://www.WriterUniv.com/
Giving likable, plausible characters a compelling conflict is easier with
Enneagrams. Counselors and personnel managers use this personality tool to identify the nine personality types: Perfectionist,
Nurturer, Achiever, Romantic, Observer, Skeptic, Adventurer, Leader and Peacemaker. Each has distinctive traits -- including
a fatal flaw -- that will naturally bring them into conflict with other people...AND with themselves.
