WHAT'S IN PART ONE?

First, we'll stretch our creativity, playing around with ideas, tapping into our improvisational and divergent thinking.

Next, we'll review and sort those ideas, sketching a concept for our novels, focusing on possibilities for characters, setting, plot, and theme.

Finally, we'll take the concept we've created and shape it into a concrete vision for our novel.

YOU'LL NEED:

• Blueprints for a Novel Workbook
• Pen or pencil
• A stack of Post-its
• Old magazines, scissors, tape, and/or glue (optional)
