<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Get your story started</H2>
Begin your project with Amie and develop a framework you can use to generate story after story.  In this workshop, Amie will guide you through putting together the elements of your novel or short story - generating ideas and identifying your protagonist, inciting incident, setting, antagonist and supporting characters - and bringing depth to these elements to create a layered and compelling story.  Leave this fun practical session with the bones of your next story down on the page and an insight into how authors do what they do.
