Story Timelines, Foil Characters, and Kate Sawyer on Character Dynamics | The Novelry

One thing stands out from our live writing classes this week: the writing process is different—and fluid—for every writer and for every story. Our guest Charlene Thomas shares how she wrote and discarded 100k words from her manuscript, while Kate Sawyer discusses how she builds a scene. Plus, helpful hints on specificity from our children’s editor, and how to get into Flow from Alice Kuipers! Join us to live the writing life every week. ✍️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:11 Story Timelines and Time Tropes 00:47 Why You Should Write a Book 01:16 Foil Characters 01:38 Writing Human Relationships 02:19 Wellness & Writing: Positive Psychology The Novelry | We Grow Writers™ Connect with The Novelry Official Site: https://thenovelry.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenovelry Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenovelry/ Twitter: https://x.com/thenovelry YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheNovelry The Novelry is the world’s top-rated online novel writing school, offering courses, coaching and community to help the next generation of writers become authors.
