CLASS 84: Crucibles: Turn Setting into an Arena

Setting and conflict are critical elements in every story. In this class, we’ll discuss how you turn the story’s environment into more than a backdrop. Use it to increase drama, tension, and put your characters to the test by pitting them against each other in a cauldron they can’t, or won’t, run from.
