      If you could have any course on fiction writing, what kind of course would it be?

      Would you like a course on:

      Dialog, World-Building, How to write a novel, etc. What kind of course would you most like to have/would benefit the most from?

        Oh boy, I struggle with a lot of little things. Like, writing fluid prose, mastering emotion, getting the sense of timing just right, not being too choppy, picking the right tense, etc.

          Urgh… yikes, that’s a difficult question. Probably characterization— I don’t struggle with that, but it’s one of those things I feel like I can never study enough of or understand as fully as I should. There’s just so much to learn!
          Um… other than that… let’s see… novel structure? Character arcs? (Or would that be in with characterization…?) Telling vs. showing?
          Wow, I could do with a course on just about anything. 😛 Sorry, I don’t guess that was much help. 😀
          I’ll let you know if I come up with anything else.

            Dialog for definite. 🙂 My conversations never sound that real. *They sound more like they are in a book rather than really life* 😀

              Wow! Lot’s of good ideas! No consensus yet it sounds like though. Haha!

                Oh dear, that’s a hard question. Hmm… I would probably pick plot structure, novel structure, characterization, or something like that. I don’t know if I could choose between those, though. 🙂

                  Showing vs. Telling, Characterization, dialogue (not that I have a problem with dialogue but like how much is too much kind of thing.)

                    I would enjoy a course on strengthening prose.

                      @reaganramm I could benefit from a class teaching methods and ideas of ways to stay motivated in my writing and editing.

                        @reaganramm Ooo, that’s so hard! I would probably choose a course on characterization, plotting, world-building, or showing vs. telling.

                          @reaganramm That’s hard…characterization, perhaps. Tips on how to create real unique characters, both in depth ones for MCs and also flatter ones for secondary and minor characters.

                            @reaganramm probably prose, characterization, or plotting. Those are what I struggle with the most.

                              Wow, looks like characterization is stealing the show! 😀

                                Characterization, dialogue and narration. Possible together, though that may be a bit much. Maybe I just want something about voice, though that’s more of an individual thing that can’t be taught.

                                  Hmm… Probably Characterization, plotting, or world-building would be my vote here…
