CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT 102: A Character Who Drives Plot
Write your awesome label here.
In this 4-week course...
You’ll learn how to take the character you’ve built and shape the story, so the plot unfolds because of them, not around them. This course focuses on the practical tools that turn emotional truth into narrative momentum.
No drifting. No fillers. Just the work of writing character-first storytelling that holds up.
Each week builds on the last:
- Week 1: Learn how to create plot from character — where their wants, flaws, and decisions shape what happens next.
-
Week 2: Use relationships and conflict to pressure your character — revealing who they are through the people they push up against.
-
Week 3: Connect character to theme — using their journey to express what your story is really about.
- Week 4: Write and rewrite scenes that couldn’t exist without them — scenes that feel honest, alive, and earned.
Each week includes a live writing workshop, four short on-demand lessons, and focused exercises to help you write characters who move the story — and who move us, your viewers or readers, too.
Course features
You’ve built the character. Now write the story only they could tell. Because plot isn’t what happens — it’s what happens when they are the one in the middle of it.
