Life is a series of special occasions: birthdays, holidays, weddings, political events, funerals, or coming of age traditions. But have you considered how you can use these in your fiction? Special events liven up our day-to-day lives and they can play the same role in fiction. Events allow you to show time passing, deepen the world-building, and show character. This workshop will jump start your thinking on how to integrate events into your manuscript and use them to take your characters to the next level.
