In this workshop, we're going to talk about how making your character come to life will help you create stories about him/her/it! We'll start with an exercise to get to know your character inside and out. Then, we will build on a story plot and explore what makes a story compelling to read. Finally, we'll use drawing and doodling to help us get our creative juices flowing! The downloadable files below can help you in your own storytelling journey.
