Characters need to transform. At the start of a story they are in one emotional state, they act, react, and most often (although not always) end the story in a different emotional state. They are changed in some way. Scenes within stories can be shaped around character transformation; the transformation may be small or large, depending on the circumstances. This workshop will focus on character transformation. It asks: how do characters transform? How do you, the writer, ‘escalate’ a scene, develop a character’s internal world, using the senses? How might you  explore place to reveal the unique changes your protagonist undergoes, so that you examine emotions in a nuanced way, without the need to signpost every thought or feeling?
