SUMMARY:He Said\, She Said: Define Your Characters With Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description: \nIf you’re like most writers\, you’ve probably taken a number of classes and read even more about writing snappy dialogue. That’s not this class. This class will focus on using dialogue to define your characters. \nThe most important thing to remember when creating characters is to make them unique. That’s what this class is about. In He Said\, She Said: Define Your Characters With Dialogue\, you’ll learn not only what dialogue is and what it should do\, but how to use backstory\, how to use accents\, foreign words\, and phrases\, and local slang. You’ll also discover how and when to use speech tags vs. action tags. \nIncluded in the workshop is Your Dialogue Workbook. This useful tool has worksheets\, checklists\, and assignments that will aid you in creating sparkling dialogue for your characters. \nInstructor Bio: \nCynthia Owens says “I believe I was destined to be interested in history. One of my distant ancestors\, Thomas Aubert\, reportedly sailed up the St. Lawrence River to discover Canada some 26 years before Jacques Cartier’s 1534 voyage. Another relative was a 17thCentury “King’s Girl\,” one of a group of young unmarried girls sent to New France (now the province of Quebec) as brides for the habitants (settlers) there.” \nHer passion for reading made her long to write books like the ones she enjoyed\, and she tried penning sequels to her favorite Nancy Drew mysteries. Later\, fancying herself as a female version of Andrew Lloyd Weber\, she even drafted a musical set in Paris during WWII. \n  \nA former journalist and lifelong Celtophile\, she enjoyed a previous career as a reporter/editor for a small chain of community newspapers before returning to her first love\, romantic fiction. Her stories usually include an Irish setting\, hero or heroine\, and sometimes all three.
