TOPIC   | Siera London: Scenes & Sequels

Scenes & Sequels

This Session

Goal, motivation, and conflict aren’t enough. Great storytelling includes characters who battle and triumph—a dynamic mix of internal and external conflicts to reach their ultimate goal.

But unputdownable fiction is more than a GMC chart. How your character reacts to each challenge creates a three-dimensional persona whose fictional journey communicates a message of our human existence that resonates through a wide cross-section of readers.

Join USA Today Bestselling Author Siera London as she explores scene and sequel structure in popular fiction.

Voice in Dual POV Romance

This session

In this workshop, Jen will talk about the ways she:

  • Differentiates character voice and internal monologue between multiple narrators / main characters
  • Tailors the narrative to a particular POV
  • Determines which character’s POV a chapter should be

About Our Speaker

Jen Devon is a white woman with long brown hair. She wears glasses as wide as her face, and is wearing an off-white sweater.

I’m Jen. I’m a former ecology academic turned professional photographer turned software support pro moonlighting as an author. I’m a lifelong lover of scary movies and romance novels, both of which I was probably first exposed to far too young. But the pre-teen heart wants what it wants, and my angsty little Xennial heart wanted terror and lusty pining. I think Ripley and Hicks should have kissed, Ben Solo deserved better, and Disney should’ve given Elsa a girlfriend.

I love: campfires, Hot Tamales, sour cream as a French fry condiment, the smell of used bookstores, World of Warcraft, single-origin coffee, my 85mm f/1.8G camera lens, public radio, Hefeweizen, slipper socks, boardgames, marching bands, hiking, traveling with my family, fun hats, and people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

I’m married to a hot nerd who I met on the Internet, and now twenty years later we’re raising three bright, feminist, kick-ass kids. We also have two ill-mannered rescue mutts – I’d have a whole pack of them (dogs, not kids) if I could, but there’s only so much room on the bed, you know?

I’m an adult-diagnosed ADHD’er, an outgoing introvert and occasional foulmouth (apologies to my mom, my dad, my kids’ teachers, and the hosts of any panels or podcasts I’m a guest on), a Gandalf stan, thrift store enthusiast, nonsense repudiator, kindness evangelist, and unapologetic dirt-lover. I think the world would be a better place if everyone read romance novels.

Real-Time Brainstorming Your Novel

This session

Come with your book ideas, and get ready to brainstorm in small-group sessions. Each person has a turn to share where they could use group help brainstorming anything. Are you stuck figuring out a beat in your romance arc? Trying to figure out your characters’ wound? Wondering what moment will drive our two lovers apart, and what will bring them together? Maybe trying to figure out something about their backstory, or situations to throw them into? Which tropes to use? Or maybe it’s the premise itself you’d like help on. What you talk about in your small group is up to you!

What’s said and done in brainstorming stays in brainstorming. This is a safe space to work yourself out of whatever plot hole has stalled you. Members have used these sessions to make great progress on their novels, some of which are currently published!

If you have ever joined us on one of the “Plotting Groups,” monthly sessions, this is the same concept. For those unfamiliar, read on.

To prepare your group to assist you:
  • Be prepared to give us background on your premise and the place you’re blocked.
  • Be prepared for us to ask additional questions to gain the context we might need to help you.
Bring what you need:
  • Whatever you use, bring it with you:
    • Pen and paper?
    • Laptop?
    • Posterboard for mind-mapping?
    • Post-it Notes?
    • Notecards?
  • An enquiring mind! Take the ideas in the spirit they are meant, to help unblock you.
Get to work!

Assuming we can break into groups of 4, each member will have approximately 15 minutes to work on the issue or issues they’d like to brainstorm.

Members who are on Zoom, you will be plotting in your own “room” that we will set up. If we have enough members, we will have more than one room. In person, we will break into small groups.

Attending Our Hybrid Meeting

Brainstorming session is free for members and prospective members who have not yet visited for two complimentary meetings. For those members who cannot join us in person, join us via Zoom. The password will be posted in the Central Ohio Fiction Writers Google Group, and on the Central Ohio Fiction Writers Facebook page.

About Our Speaker

Louise Pachella is a white woman with long, wavy, brunette hairVeteran funeral director, embalmer, and lifelong bookworm, Louise is fairly new to the writing and blogging scene. She had a passion for writing in her youth, which lay dormant during her busy career. She could no longer resist the urge to write during her hiatus as a stay at home mother. Louise finally found her purpose, educating and entertaining strangers on the internet about dead bodies and funerals.

Her blog, Read In Peace, combines her passion to educate with fun and humor. Full of tips and useful information about death and funerals, Louise balances the solemn subject with lighthearted “dissections” of related books and movies.

Louise is the author of Last Words: A Glossary for Death and Funerals and is currently working on her first book, a nonfiction guide called Embalming For Amateurs. Written with the layperson in mind, she details the embalming and funeral process in a clear and fascinating way. She reveals the mysterious things that happen behind closed doors, with equal parts humor and respect for the dead.

Aside from reading and writing, Louise enjoys napping, welding, racing demolition derby cars, and decorating her 8 foot tall pet T.rex for holidays. She lives in Southern California with her husband and three fierce daughters.

Be Your Own Developmental Editor – Revisions with Book Maps

A book map is a visual guide to your book. It breaks your story down, chapter by chapter, scene by scene, so you can see exactly what you have—AND what you don’t. It allows you to be your own developmental editor.

What Attendees Will Learn: how to create a book map to visually track the plot, characters, conflict, and more, find pacing issues and unnecessary scenes, follow plotlines and discover plot holes, and track character growth throughout the story.

Pantsers LOVE this workshop, and plotters do, too. It’s best for pantsers with a completed first draft, and intermediate plotters. (New plotters will need to know something about story structures.)
