About this Workshop:
You're probably familiar with the hero's journey, but did you know that certain elements coincide with the Enneagram Levels of Development? We'll take a deep dive into this SUPER nerdy concept in a 3-hour masterclass to help you understand what call to action, adventure, supreme ordeal, and elixir naturally fit with your protagonist.
This masterclass will help you understand your protagonist’s struggles as well as central themes that naturally arise for the personality type to help you write stronger, more compelling stories.
Master the concepts necessary to write authentic, well-defined, and sympathetic protagonists your readers will want to revisit time and time again.
Registration includes access to a 30-day replay for those unable to attend at the scheduled time.
What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a personality typing system, where each person falls into one of nine types. Only nine types of people, you ask? Well, there’s more to it than that. Much more.
Each type is defined by a core motivation, and that’s why it’s so useful for writing fiction. When we know our characters’ core motivations—that is, the underlying fear and desire that drives their decisions—we know exactly how to inspire them into action that makes perfect sense for our story and to our readers.
