In the next part of the workshop, you'll spend a lot of time learning about the five structural elements (inciting incident, turning point, crisis, climax, and resolution) and how these relate to your character goals and value shift. When you understand how all these things go together, you can craft a scene that readers will love.

"The workshop is extremely useful to a beginner writer. I got stuck writing the first quarter of the first draft because I wasn't sure the scenes were working (and I had known about the scene structure in advance), and I felt my mind click as we discussed all of the elements step by step.
​
The feedback Iris provides is so detailed and personalized, it's a miracle! She always made sure we understood what she was saying and was willing to take the time to answer all and any of our questions.
​
Compared to a 3-month writing course I'd taken last year, I feel these two hours gave me more practical information! Definitely worth every cent and second!
