I am available to writer's groups to do the workshop listed below:

CHARACTER BUILDING WITH TONY AND PHIL
In order to create believable characters, an author needs to know what his characters believe. Often, in the midst of plotting, we find ourselves asking this question: What would this character have to believe to make him do that? In this course, Jax will look at characters beliefs through the tools given us by coaches Tony Robbins and Dr. Phil.

THE A, B, C’S OF ROMANTIC HEROES
While Alpha males are fabulous, there’s an entire world of hero types to choose from. In this workshop, Jax will present a variety of hero types. We’ll show you wounded heroes, boy-next-door heroes, dark and forbidding heroes, and take-charge heroes, just to name a few. Also, we’ll explore the sort of heroines that each of these men needs.

AGAINST THE CLOCK
In this workshop, Jax will share some tips for getting the work done and even upping your productivity. Topics will include scheduling your writing and goal setting, there’s no such thing as writer’s block and what happens when you’re stuck.

BRAIN SEX
When you know the physiological differences between the sexes (not those differences :o) your characters will ring more true on the page. And in real life, well, you’ll never look at Mars and Venus the same way again. (This is a 2 hour workshop)

CONFLICT
Building conflict is one of the keys to great fiction. In this workshop you’ll learn how to create outstanding conflict and torment your characters into greatness.

DEEP POINT OF VIEW
In this workshop, Jax will show you the trick to helping your readers get into the skin of your characters. You’ll learn the techniques that have made Jax one of the best at writing emotion.
