Your story is unique. Only you can tell it.

But you’ve had a full life. Where do you even begin?

The 3-hour personal writing course is designed to help you get your arms around your story. It provides an overview of the storytelling tactics that all writers use, and allows space for participants to create “jumping off points” to begin their own stories.

We will discuss:

  • Timelines

  • World building

  • Characters

  • How to make use of specific details to make the world come alive.

Upon completion of the course, you should have:

  • The beginnings of your personal timeline.

  • An understanding of three narrative components – story, character, and detail – as well as how they come together to build your personal story.

  • Ample words on the page.

  • A map for continuing on your own.

This course if offered once a month, and space is limited. Secure your spot today.

I couldn’t attend the class in person, so I watched the recording. The prompts and valuable guidance helped me come up with the three distinct stories that I will use as a catalyst for starting my writing journey. Thank you!
