Clothes can say a lot about a character, their mood, personality, culture, ambitions, personality, and much more if it's done for purpose. But beware, descriptions for no reason just add to word count. This episode peeks into the story closet to offer ways to give readers clues about your characters.

A great story has great characters. Memorable characters that leap from the page do more than just entertain. The reader relates and learns from them. Discover how to create believable and nuanced characters that drive plot and enhance conflict by teasing out all the strengths and weaknesses found in archetypes.
There are many ways to tell a story and even more ways to write the scenes and sentences within. An ordinary sentence may move the plot forward, but a masterful sentence or scene does so much more! A purpose-driven scene enhances mood, tone, characterization, conflict, plot, theme, and emotion. Discover the author techniques and literary devices to create evocative and layered prose that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
This course provides both a literary and real-life approach to:
• characterization
• archetypes
• authorial techniques
• literary devices
that will help you master the art of ‘showing vs telling’.
