October Meeting
Greetings everyone,
This Saturday we have a real treat for you. How many of you out there are creating characters for your award winning novel or story from your cerebral? You know, descriptions like, Joe’s a policeman, has brown hair, oldest of six children, and always wanted to be a cop. The character is actually pretty flat. Right? Our guest speaker, Dr. Terra Pressler, received her doctorate in screenwriting and is an attorney. If there’s anyone who knows how to work both sides of the brain, it’s Dr. Terra Pressler. Instead of creating our characters from the head up, she’s going to show us how to go full body and give our characters an exciting three dimension.
You’re not going to be passively sitting. Oh, no! She’s going to have us up and moving about. Once we learn her technique, it should be pretty interesting. Come one! Come all. Let your hair down and allow yourself to be a kid again. Life is fun. Characters are fun, if we let them come alive.
Following our meeting, we will join our guest speaker for lunch at Nikki’s.
