Students will discuss character roles, archetypes and tropes to understand the standard character models and then design their own unique character. 

I have lead workshops and activities for different creative writing groups while working with homeschooling co-ops and other programs I’ve been involved in. I am also an avid gamer and enjoy the complex world building involved in games like Dungeons & Dragons. I write for personal enjoyment and enjoy sharing my passion with young writers. I’m a three-time NaNoWriMo winner; National Novel Writing Month is every November and the challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel in a single month. I also write fanfiction, a recently popularized genre of writing using existing characters or ‘universes’ from movies, books, anime etc. to tell a completely new story.
