As writers, we often put a little bit of ourselves into all of our characters that sometimes results in too much blending of personalities. By assigning an element such as earth, fire, air (wind), or water, to a character, the contrast is sharp. It also improves our understanding as to how our characters interact with each other. So, what are the characteristics of each element? Linda will show you how. This is an interactive session and above all, it’s fun.

All writers are different. Because of this, many writers defeat themselves by comparing themselves to other writers. In this session we will discover what makes us unique as writers, our strengths, our challenges, and what to do about them. And just for fun, how we can use this information in building characters.
