Creative Writing | Story Structure

Let's nip the uncertainty, procrastination, writers' block and writers' angst in the bud and write the story your legacy deserves!

Picture this: You're at a networking event, a writing class or sitting in a coffee shop with friends. You find the courage to tell the group, 'I've got an excellent idea for a story!' Perhaps it's a web series, an autobiography, a blog, a script or an essay. Then some know-it-all interjects with a million questions— 'what happens? Who's the protagonist? What's the point of their journey? Who is the target audience? Can I read your first draft?' And your response is 'errrr,' because you either don't know how to answer any of these questions or because you're 'working on it'. Then a month, six months, a year and then two years fly by, and you're 'still working on it!'

The exercises and resources provided will get you thinking about the plausibility of your story idea through story structure so that you can develop a narrative that resonates with your audience. Together, we'll explore five fundamental elements of storytelling: Character, plot, setting, theme and writing style.
