Sentences and Punctuation
The Right Words
Point of View and Good Writing
FEE: $28
October 28 to November 18
8P THE BIG BLACK MOMENT
8P THE BIG BLACK MOMENT
Dramatic, powerful storytelling doesn't just happen. The Big Black Moment is only one piece of the story, but it's one of the most important and many writers fail to get it right. Most writers understand that this is the moment when all seems lost, but they don't understand why or what goes into making it that way. In order for TBB to have an emotional impact, certain components must be there. In this class you'll learn what TBB is really about and how you can make it the most powerful, emotionally charged point in your story. Some of the areas we’ll study are:
The character arc and transcending character flaws
Conflict to build to the BBM
Making the Big Black Moment payoff
FEE: $28
