Modern Physics for Writers -- Presented by Valerie Roberts
All matter is made of strings! Universes are created when membranes collide! Invisible Dark Matter is 80% of everything! Dark energy is blowing the universe apart! There are four dimensions, no 10, no 11 dimensions—no, 9 dimensions! Searching for The God Particle! Sometimes theoretical physics sounds like screaming tabloid headlines, and makes about as much sense. Want to know the truth behind the headlines? Because, really, truth is stranger than fiction—or at least mathematically derived theoretical concepts are stranger than our everyday experiences. Some of the more esoteric concepts are quite useful in fiction, both for science fiction and paranormal worlds. And there's very little math; when you get to this level of physics, nobody outside the particular sub-branch understands it, anyway. So let's delve into the mysterious reality inside the atom and outside the galaxy, look at current theories for tying them together and think about how to use it in our stories.

DEEP POV, Pseudo-1st Person: The Art & Craft of "Skinwalking" -- Presented by Renee Wildes
Skinwalking becomes putting on your character like a shroud. When you write in that character, you ARE that character, at almost a microscopic level.

How may I help you today?" * Intro/Getting to Know You * Lecture 1 - Thoughts on Characterization in general: How are characters the same and different from real people? * Lecture 2 - Setting A Character's Parameters: How are characters influenced by their world? * Lecture 3 - Incorporating the Senses from Character's POV: How do characters experience/view their world? * Lecture 4 - Those little "TELLING" words: Getting closer POV * Lecture 5 - Quick Tips: A set of 8 ideas to put Skinwalking into play * Lecture 6 - Putting It All Together: How to tell a story from a character's unique perspective * Farewell/Feedback - What we've learned
