What you will learn

Better integrate the essential author skills of verbal communication and artistic creation

Re-use the exercises to continue to deepen the effects of the lessons learned.

Be more aware of the reader.

Be more aware of word choice and its effects on narration.

Why take this course?

In this course you will learn over a dozen repeatable exercises that will teach you something new not only about writing in general, but about your own writing, every time you repeat them.

You'll learn not only through exercises, but why exercises are effective, and what they are really for. You'

Almost all the exercises integrate multiple writing techniques, but more importantly, integrate imaginative and linguistic techniques in exactly the way that great authors write:

  • description and emotion
  • action and description
  • action and emotion
  • dialog and description
  • show, tell and feel
  • author perception and reader perception

You don't learn creativity by rote-learning formulas and methodologies. Creative process isn't a process.

You're an author, or you want to become one, and you know that writing is partly about applying techniques, but mostly it's about producing a coherent whole. Mostly, it's about bringing together everything at once.

So far I have only watched the videos to get the general gist of the course but I wish my own English lessons (GCSE and A'Level) had included how to write rather than the constant dissection of set texts. Everyone who writes will benefit from this course and I can't wait to get stuck into the exercises.
