SUMMARY:Using Mythic Structures in Character\, Plot\, and Worldbuilding
DESCRIPTION:Workshop leader: Bryan Camp \n\n\n\n\nFloods. Vampires. Shapeshifters. Cataclysms. These are just a few of the narratives that cycle throughout human storytelling\, from culture to culture and from the ancient world through to today. \nIn this lecture and workshop\, we’ll discuss a variety of mythic structures and how they can inform and inspire character\, plot\, and setting. Attendees will participate in a few generative writing exercises\, which can be used to begin a new piece of writing on a blank page or inspire a fresh perspective on in-progress work. \nThis event is free and open to the community. No RSVP required. \n\n\n\nAbout Bryan Camp \n\n\n\n\nBryan Camp is a graduate of the Clarion West Writers Workshop and the University of New Orleans’ Low-Residency MFA program. He started his first novel\, The City of Lost Fortunes\, in the backseat of his parents’ car as they evacuated for Hurricane Katrina. He has been\, at various points in his life: a security guard at a stockcar race track\, a printer in a flag factory\, an office worker in an oil refinery\, and a high school English teacher. He can be found on bluesky @bryancamp.bsky.social and at bryancamp.com. He lives in New Orleans with his wife and their cats\, one of whom is named after a superhero.
