Three Essential Emotional Craft Skills

Based on The Emotional Craft of Fiction, Donald Maass leads participants through writing exercises demonstrating effective methods for producing an emotional journey for readers. Included are the technique called "Third Level Emotions," as well as crafting changes and the evolving "self" of characters, as well as the hidden current that pulls readers through stories even when nothing is overtly happening. What creates an emotional experience for readers is more than plot. Discover those key methods in this presentation.
