May Online Class Announcement

**PERMISSION GRANTED TO FORWARD***

Plotting Via Motivation with Laurie Schnelby Campbell

May 15-19, 2006

Eastside RWA is proud to present their new online workshop, "Plotting Via Motivation,"

with Laurie Schnelby Campbell.

Any of us could write a book in which the characters set out for a three-hour tour and get shipwrecked on an uncharted desert isle. We've seen what seven such characters would do, over and over again. But what would YOUR characters do?

Their motivation is what drives your story. Of course the shipwreck helps your plot, but if you nail down a character's motivation it doesn't matter whether the ship capsizes or lands safely three hours later. The character is going to create a plot from whatever happens because you've got that person's motivation built in from the very beginning.

How to make it happen? That's what we'll talk about (and do worksheets for) in "Plotting Via Motivation."

Laurie Schnebly Cambell combines her background as a Master's in Counseling therapist with her love of writing -- as a novelist who's lived through everything from Fifth-Book Syndrome to winning Romantic Times' "Best 200 Books of All Time" award. She's sold six romances to Silhouette Special Edition, including the one which beat out Nora Roberts for "Best SE of the Year."

Price per class:
$ 15.00 (RWA members)
$ 30.00 (non-RWA members)
