Do you sense that you have a compelling book inside you, waiting to be brought to life, but are uncertain where to begin?
Lisa Cron has guided countless aspiring writers to master the remarkable power of storytelling so they can write novels or memoirs that captivate readers completely.
In this class, you will learn:
- What human brains are fundamentally hardwired to crave in every story you read and write, which may surprise you
- Why writing compelling novels depends not on innate "talent" that only some fortunate people possess, but rather on learnable skills you can develop
- How to write a first draft that already reads like a polished fifth draft, dramatically reducing the revision workload
- How to develop confidence as a writer and transform whatever you write into deeper, richer, more compelling material that accomplishes what stories are designed to accomplish: shifting how readers perceive the world, themselves, and their place in it
This class goes beyond generic writing exercises. Each exercise deliberately builds upon the previous one, providing you with concrete tools to craft a riveting story originating from authentic creative inspiration.
Your objective: develop a novel, memoir, or screenplay by first creating the raw material from which your story and its plot will naturally emerge and take shape.
Writing novels does not need to feel overwhelming or daunting. Lisa dispels common writing misconceptions that have prevented your progress and offers a straightforward, practical, systematic approach to finding your story and sharing it with the world!
