BUILDING A CHARACTER ONE GAME AT A TIME - Building a character is a vital part of writing a novel. It also requires quite a bit of work to incorporate enough texture, detail, and personality for the character to seem real to the reader. But this process doesn’t have to be a chore. Join us as award-winning author Mylisa Larsen introduces writing games that will help you create characters that are round and real. Bring a character from a work-in-progress or start a new project with a character you’ll create in this workshop. Offered by SCBWI Nebraska as part of their Creative Connections series. Thursday, November 13, from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm (CST) at Ralston's Baright Public Library 5555 S 77th Street.
