What You Will Learn?

  • So you've got some characters, you've done some worldbuilding, and you have a concept-- all the essential building blocks for a long-form story. But you still need one more thing-- a plan! .
  • As a former NaNoWriMo pantser, and now a dedicated planner (and longtime Dungeons and Dragons DM, and published author), I know how daunting it can be to look down at a blank page and blinking cursor and just not have any idea how to start. Planning-- pre-plotting, outlining, and research, as well as a few other tips I'll share-- is your best friend. .
  • This class will teach you how to go from a blank page and a head full of ideas to a well-organized, detailed plan that you can follow as you develop your story. .
