Free Writing Class

Online Resources

Steve Barnes, in case you haven't heard, is offering his nine week, UCLA screenwriting program online, in which he admonishes you "to write your butt off". I reccommend him, and it.

The Writer's Village offers a free Character Building Workshop online. This is a super writing geek tool that I'm in the process of slobbering over right now. I love this thing! The value lies in it's ability to pull an ill-defined character out of your subconcious and make him 3d real.

By the time you're done fooling around in the Character Builder you know all about who your characters are - why they do what they do - and where they are headed. Writalicious!

I've saved the best for last, dear reader.
