Testimony Barb Hunt:
On the 2nd and 3rd March, I attended an intensive weekend workshop conducted by Elaine Ouston on ‘Developing strong and believable characters’. Elaine took us through an in-depth study of personality types - in particular, the classification of personality disorders. We were given a scenario and our writing tasks were to write brief responses to the same scenario – to show how a person with a particular personality would respond in each case.
It was an excellent workshop, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all participants and an absolute ‘must’ for any serious writer – it was clear to all participants that
if we don’t fully understand our characters, then our story/novel will lack credibility or believability.
Testimony Ron Day:
Elaine’s first two-day intensive workshop on creating memorable characters was a huge success. As one of the participants, and a writer of many years’ experience, I was dubious that I would learn much new information about developing characters, but I soon found I have much more to learn. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.
The sessions were excellently planned and executed with a well-balanced blend of information and practical exercises. I have never enjoyed a writing workshop so much. I will create and describe my characters with a great deal more confidence now, knowing how to make them leap off the page and grab the attention of the readers.
The workshop is now available on-line. Just go to the CREATING MEMORABLE CHARACTERS page to find out how to download the workshop notes. The cost is way too cheap, but Elaine says she wants to make it affordable for all. If you want to improve your writing, download it today. You won’t be sorry.
