Class Description

Description

People have strong feelings about outlining—they either love it or hate it. But there's a middle ground.

You can approach outlining in a way that preserves creative discovery while you write. The key is understanding story structure basics, its different types, and which ones work best for specific kinds of stories.

Many books on story structure muddy the waters by using different terms for the same concepts. This can be frustrating for writers trying to learn.

This hands-on workshop blends lectures with personal feedback to help you craft an outline using the three-act structure. With dedication, you'll develop a working outline—or at least a clear direction—that keeps room for creative discovery during writing.

You will also:

  • Understand different types of story structure
  • Identify character arc, theme, central dramatic question, and hook
  • Learn how characters reflect theme and structure
  • Break down the story structure of several movies (because it's easier than reading several books)
  • Receive personalized feedback
  • Connect with other first-draft writers
  • Outline your project
  • Get answers to your burning questions

Most of all, you will gain the tools to complete your outline with confidence.
