Writing Emotion Webinar by CeCe Lira

What do all great stories have in common? They make us feel, which is why the ability to weave emotion into a story is so important. Indeed, no matter the genre, effectively conveying a range of emotions will draw your readers in from the very start and compel them to read on. The 3+ hour class covers various aspects of weaving emotions into your story, including * active vs. passive emotions; * how to effectively convey emotion (showing vs. telling); * most common mistakes in writing emotion (and how to get it right); * common challenges in writing emotions (and how to turn them into successes); * how to include emotion in your outline and synopsis; * tips and tricks to effectively convey emotion; * the role of emotion in the query letter; and * the importance of emotional context the first ten pages (or: How soon should I introduce emotion?).
