Community Through Ennegram:
Using Ennegram Energy to Create Authentic Characters
Presented by: Deborah Linn McNemee
The study of enneagrams comes from ancient sages. Enneagrams are navigational tools. Each person naturally navigates life using a specific type of life compass. Enneagram philosophy categorizes these compasses into nine numbers.
Using Enneagrams instead of personality quizzes or character questionnaires gives writers a deeper understanding of what moves characters beyond goal/motivation/conflict. Enneagrams drive human actions and reactions more so than even internal or external motivations.
By delving into the traits of each number attendees will have a more thorough understanding of their characters. (and maybe even their own approach to storytelling.)
Deborah Linn McNemee is the author of JUST DAISY, a YA, modern-day reimagining of The Great Gatsby from Daisy’s point-of-view. She manages a teacher blog, KeepingClassics.com, where she helps teachers engage students in the classics. For her day job, she facilitates a gifted education program. When not writing, she volunteers as the education director for the El Dorado World War II History Center. Her guilty pleasures include quoting Mark Twain to an annoying degree and secretly assigning Enneagram numbers to her friends and family.
