(gentle music) - Hi, I'm Naomi Kinsman, an author and a coach for creative minds. I'm also the founder of both Society of Young Inklings and Writerly Play. In this class, we will develop a character concept that readers will love. If you're a writer or a narrative artist of any kind, maybe you're an illustrator, or an animator, or a filmmaker, and if you want to know from day one that you are creating a character that readers can relate to, then this class is for you. In this class, we'll borrow some mindsets and tools from the world of design thinking as well as from my background in improv theater. In both of these spaces, the goal is to fail faster in order to succeed sooner. Actors and designers both use exercises to frame creative thinking in a specific way. Writing can be hard when you feel alone. We are here to have fun, to develop a winning character concept, and to grow your creative confidence. Let's get started.
