I'm so happy to see you here!
You're going to plot out a great novel and improve all kinds of writing skills.
P.S. You should try out, below, our first interactive prompt. It's all about creating a main character who is opposed to the "main plot" or "real story" of your novel. I'm including it here to prepare you for the full explanation of the character-first approach.
As the map shows, this course is broken down into three main sections:
Module 1 is all about building blocks and craft techniques: it shows you some new ways to see your novel project, and it equips you with an enhanced toolkit for creating great scenes and characters.
Module 2 is where we actually construct your plot. Here, we'll design your story in four stages, spot and fix problem areas, and discover which elements in your writing may be holding you back.
In Module 3, you write. I'll guide you through the outlining of your entire novel and the writing of a compelling opening section of your novel, the first 30 - 50 pages.
Make sure (now or later) to download the two course manuals. They are the highlight of the course for some writers.
P.S. Probably the most popular lessons are:
1. Why your character needs a project
2. The ABC Plot in four stages
3. The "perfect" opening to your novel
I also recommend the tough love taught in fake plot.
Look out for the prompts and action steps, too, at the end of many lessons. These steps prompt you to take notes on your own project, internalising and mastering the course's techniques.
Additionally, look out for regular emails from me, coaching you through the course piece by piece.
