“Plotting Via Motivation”
by Laurie Schnebly Campbell
Registration $30 at www.WriterUniv.com/

Motivation is what drives your story. Any of us could
write a book in which character 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 and over again. But what would
YOURS do?

If you nail down any character’s motivation, it
doesn’t matter whether the ship capsizes or lands
safely three hours later. Your characters will create
a plot from what EVER happens, because you’ve got
their motivation built in from the very beginning.
Find out how, with workshop that covers:

* Motivation’s Big Question
* The Surprising Core
* How Deep Do You Go?
* Motivation Checklist
* The 14 Blanks
* Goal vs Motivation
* Building Your Plot

Laurie Schnebly Campbell grew up in a family that
talked “motivation” around the dinner table. While
her day job in advertising is responsible for her
synopsis skills, her Master’s in Counseling works for
motivating characters in her novels…including one
that beat out Nora Roberts for “Best Special Edition
of the Year.” Check her out at www.BookLaurie.com.
