What:
Debra Dixon, award-winning author and CEO at Belle Books, offered a full-day workshop on Goal, Motivation and Conflict (GMC).
Dixon's Book-In-A-Day workshop provides the tools a writer needs to shape a story and create a road map to writing it.
This intensive workshop covered the three most important elements of popular fiction--goal, motivation and conflict (GMC), and how these elements work with the mythic structure of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey to help writers conceive and create strong plots and compelling characters.
A best-selling author, Dixon is currently at work on her tenth book and is the recipient of a Romantic Times Career Achievement Award. Gryphon Books for Writers published Dixon's first writing "how-to" book, now in its fourth printing, based on her popular Goal, Motivation, and Conflict workshop. Dixon teaches novel-writing courses for the University of Memphis as well as one-day writing workshops across the country.
