SUMMARY:ARIA Academy Zoom Class - Outlining Blockbuster Plots
DESCRIPTION:Class Description \nUtilizing the text from Writing Blockbuster Plots by Martha Anderson\, we’ll dive into plotting a full length novel\, discuss the use of a plot planner\, and address the following concepts: \n\nBeginning\, middle\, and end of a story\, and guidelines for each\nDramatic action – it’s definition and how it works to create pace and hook the reader\nCharacter emotional development – its function in the novel and how it’s brings our characters to life and allows us to root for them\, or hate them\, or even both\nCrisis and climax – we will define these two pivotal points in the novel\nThe ending\, or the denouement – how it is used and why it is important.\n\nInstructor Bio: \nKevin is a 1987 graduate of Roger Williams University with a degree in Computer Information Systems with a minor in creative writing. Kevin wrote a comic book that was published called “P.R.I.M.E.” Six of my short stories\, “The Soul Experiment\,” “The Albatross\,” “Sunshine Through the Darkest Cloud\,” and “The Fourth Quadrant”\, “The Train of Thought Sometimes Takes the Road”\, and “The Song of Darkness” have appeared in the Association of Rhode Island Authors yearly anthology volumes\, Selections\, Past Present and Future\, Hope\, and Green\, Iconic Rhode Island\, and In a Dark Time. \nKevin has a novel entitled Seeker of the Eclipse which is currently in circulation among literary agents. \nKevin is currently working on another novel called The Quantum Children\, which he plotted using the methods illustrated in this class\, and is hoping to have the first draft finished by spring. Another novel Manifest Destiny\, is ready for another round of editing in preparation for agent submission. \nOrder Tickets
