Details
In this deep dive on character arcs, we'll take a look at how you can have your character change in a believable way. Many writers think that a character needs to be deeply flawed at the beginning in order to have an arc. We'll look at how to pry into the cracks in their personality to create conflict and tension within the character.
Requirements:

- You will also need to have a device to connect via Zoom
- You do not need a web camera but you do need a working microphone, the internet, and speakers or headphones
