Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this fiction class:

Unlock The Story Within is not a formulaic approach to story structure. Through this workshop you will discover how you are uniquely qualified to tell your story. The very fears that kept you stuck are, in fact, your way into the story. Unlock The Story Within will help you to articulate what you didn’t know you were trying to say.

The conscious mind is good at doing one thing: it answers the questions we ask it. When a writer gets blocked, he tends to ask questions like, “Why is this so difficult?” And his brain gives him answers to that question. But what if we had a series of questions (and an experienced guide) that took us directly to the heart of our story, so that we could shine a light on the process of how a story is born.

Through lecture, discussion and stream-of-consciousness writing exercises, Unlock The Story Within provides writers at all levels with the tools necessary to successfully bring their work to fruition.

In this workshop you will:
  • Discover what your story is really about
  • Turn your fears into allies
  • Understand how and why you are uniquely qualified to write your story
  • Identify the dramatic question of your story
  • Discover the universal dilemma at the heart of your story (this is the ‘source’ of the story from which all conflict and complications arise).
  • Isolate the specific want and need of your protagonist
    Explore your hero’s transformation in the third act.
  • Clarify the through-line of the story by tracking the ‘want’ through the plot points
  • Explore the back-story that informs your dramatic question
  • Allow your characters to begin to speak to you.
Note: This is an excellent preparatory workshop for the 90-Day Novel or 90-Day Screenplay workshops.
