This interactive eight week TeleWorkshop is for anyone wanting to make a huge change in their fiction writing by calling forth characters who are hidden in the shadows of the unconscious. I call these Shadow Characters.
We begin the eight weeks by exploring Shadow Characters in general, and quickly move into a process to release your Shadow Character onto the page.
Not all shadow characters arise from the underbelly of the human condition. Shadow characters can be murderers, prostitutes, drug addicts, egotists, lusty and lecherous... but they are just as likely be vulnerable, outspoken, disobedient or wildly emotional. They can be tender, fragile lovers, rebellious youth, adventurers, empaths, old people, fantasy characters, God or the Goddess ...
As a writer, you can be simultaneously drawn to and repelled by your shadow characters. However, run from them and you will find yourself at the mercy of your terrorist Inner Critic. This, sadly, happens to many writers. Don't let it happen to you!
This TeleWorkshop is limited to eight participants and meet once a week for 8 weeks. Week by week, you will develop your character and story and release his or her story on the written page.
8 weeks: $400
"I look forward to Emily's workshop so much that to miss one is a real loss. The workshop is like a shot of adrenalin... When I leave knowing that I need to rewrite, I never feel as though I've failed, am bad or just can’t do it. I know I can. I’ve come to know that I can follow any direction with my writing, that I am free to fly, leap, spin or dive into the deepest, most mysterious waters and still come up unscathed. In fact, I’m better for venturing into the unknown territory. Writing, I've come to see, is like living – it requires heart and courage. The workshop gives me both."
