MASTER CLASS: "Powering Up Your Pivotal Scenes"

The pivotal scenes are the ones which propel the plot and characters forward in a dramatic way. Through strong structure and powerful narration, you can make these scenes the ones your readers will always remember. For anyone who's taken one of Alicia's writing craft classes and completed a draft or an outline, this one covers:

 

* Determining your pivotal scenes.

* Structuring the scene for drama.

* Building towards disaster.

* Confronting your characters with conflict.

* Creating emotion through setting and point of view.
