But Why? Character Motivation for Category Romance
August 10-21, 2026
Motivation drives every story. It is the key to all fiction. Ever gotten to the middle of a story and gone…”what now?” Motivation issue! In Category Romance you don’t have the page count to wander even a bit. It has tight writing requirements that demand a well outlined, and believable for the line, motivation. Join this two-week class to learn how to craft a strong motivation for category romance heroes and heroines, including: • Picking the right motivation for your category line • Tying motivation into conflict to create a strong plot • Diving deep in motivation with tight word counts • Understanding potential motivation hang-ups • Using motivation to drive the black moment • Tips/Tricks to fix issues when they happen (they will)
