"Heightening Conflict Through the Fatal Flaw & Shadow"
with Connie Flynn
About the Class:
Three-dimensional characters need to evolve as your story unfolds. Troubles often arise when writers try to create characters who continually reveal new layers. Learn how the "triangle" technique can unveil your character's suppressed or shadow traits, which will emerge as the character struggles to overcome a deeply hidden flaw. It is the overcoming of this flaw that creates dynamic action, both external and internal.
The class will help you
- Identify your character's surface traits
- Find the corresponding shadows
- Match those to plausible "fatal flaws"
- Add natural traits that build tension
- Increase internal and external conflict
- Use plot points to ignite character change

Connie Flynn teaches popular fiction writing at Phoenix College and, periodically for Arizona State University's Piper Writing Center.
