MEETING IN PERSON THIS MONTH!

Join us on Thursday, July 9, 2026, from 7 – 9 PM at the Black Potion for a workshop on character!

BRINGING CHARACTERS TO LIFE

What makes characters stand out and feel real? This workshop will focus on using character voice to make your protagonist, villain, sidekick, or even NPC feel more distinct and memorable. We’ll also break down character conflict and examine how personality is often shaped by the struggles a character faces.

Jose Carlos Gomez-Vazquez is a software engineer by day, fantasy writer by evening, and gamer by night. He has provided voiceover work for the video game Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer. He also has two bachelor’s degrees in Economics from Texas A&M and Computer Science from UTSA. Jose Carlos enjoys good food, good company, and any reason to talk about the Final Fantasy franchise.

    We will meet at the Black Potion on Fredericksburg Rd. Parking is in the gravel parking lot next to the building, as shown in the picture below.

    Mark your calendars and come join us early for some food, drink, and conversation with your fellow writers: Thursday, July 9, 2026, from 7 – 9 PM!
