Too often for many writers, the story that comes out on the page isn't quite like what you had in your head; the scenes are flat, the dialogue is trite, or you are not sure what to write in that large space in between the beginning and the end where you are supposed to develop the story.
It could be other things too like the character that is just not interesting, or the setting that has refused to set. You know what you want to write about but it's just not coming together.
Other times it's the idea itself; how do bestselling authors come up with brilliant ideas? How do you know that your story idea would interest readers? And more importantly, what would your story achieve? Would it be just another story that is forgotten as soon as it is read? How do you write a story that becomes an instant sensation?
If you are asking any of these questions, you need this course.
Creative Writing is a boundless art that is predicated on imagination and self-expression. From this place of imagination, anything is possible as long as you know how to mix, match and balance the ingredients available to you. When this is achieved, writing goes from mere text to a compelling, nuanced narrative driven by your vision.
It is this kind of writing that makes bestsellers.
In this course, you will learn how to write a bestseller using techniques that work like magic.
The techniques you will learn here can be found in all great stories ever told. As you learn, you will see how stories, books and movies you have seen before will begin to make sense more vividly.
Not only will you be able to write a successful story from start to finish, you will be able to apply these skills to any other field.
In this course, I will guide you through the details of :
• the short story and novel, and what makes a great story,
• finding and developing story ideas,
• the parts of a plot and how to create a seamless plot outline,
• the 9 structural beats of the 3-act Narrative Structure and how you can use it to craft any narrative,
• storytelling elements and the art of vivid storytelling,
• how to write riveting relevant dialogue,
• how to build scenes within your story,
• how to write engrossing subplots that enhance the main narrative,
• how to structure sentences in a narrative to produce a powerful piece,
• grammatical rules that make a writing highly effective.
This course is chock-full of examples (some from popular books and movies, and many others that I created myself) so that you can grasp the practical application of everything discussed herein.
There are also personal exercises that will push you to think deeply and digest what you learn.
My goal with this course is to furnish you with knowledge so that you are confident in your skills as a creative writer.
