Killer Instincts -- 2008 June
Creating Your Hero's Fatal Flaw
Instructor: Laurie Campbell Schnebly
Class Description:
Giving likable, plausible characters a compelling conflict is easier with Enneagrams. Counselors and personnel managers use this personality tool to identify the nine personality types: Perfectionist, Nurturer, Achiever, Romantic, Observer, Skeptic, Adventurer, Leader and Peacemaker. Each has distinctive traits -- including a fatal flaw -- that will naturally bring them into conflict with other people...AND with themselves.
Bios:
Laurie Schnebly Campbell grew up in a family that talked psychology around the dinner table. While her day job in advertising is responsible for her synopsis-writing skills, her Master's in Counseling comes in handy for creating sympathetic, vivid characters in her books -- including the one that beat out Nora Roberts for "Best Special Edition of the Year."
