课程概述

At the center of a good story are the characters in it. In this course aspiring writers will discover how to build and bring to life complex, vivid and unforgettable characters. We will study the choices a writer makes to bring all characters to life on the page, and we will perform written exercises in order to develop a variety of writing and pre-writing techniques, in order to create a variety of characters. We will learn how to use our own life experiences, and the people we know (and how not to!). We will develop inner (thoughts and feelings) and outer (appearance, habits, behavior) lives for our characters and see how that can lead us to richer and more interesting stories. We will breathe life into our characters and let them surprise us....

The course was very well-structured and challenging. The instructor is very experienced and good, thus used relevant materials for this course, be it the guests, or the assignments, or the examples.

I loved this course! Extremely useful and hands on. The course instructor was really impressive, both informative and empathetic, both arty and to the point. Totally admired her style of instruction.

The excercises on the course are great, but the videos can be a little vague.

It was good, reviwing other students writing can be fun or very irritating.

Excellent lectures. Assignments were a little too "exercisey" for me.

The exercises were the best part of this course. However, I continue to be frustrated by the inability to ask questions or for clarification and by the lack of feedback except through AI. Every learner assesses sixteen stories in every course. Yet not once have I received critique from another student or human instructor. And no one answers my inquiries as to how I can get any. Finally, Ms. Blooms lectures are very general and veer into more emotion than explanation often.
