Next Steps:
Sign up for the Writing Workshop on August 23!
During this workshop, you will learn the basic principles of the three-act story structure. This three-act framework is the backbone of great storytelling, so when you understand this structure, your stories become easier to write and harder for readers to put down once they start reading.
Since you don’t really learn something until you experiment with that knowledge, we’re going to do some writing experimentation during this workshop. We’ll let AI do the fast writing for us to demonstrate the structure elements, and every attendee will have chance to contribute at least one idea towards the creation of this story. So if you show up and participate, you will have the chance to be a contributor of a short story I will read on this podcast in a future episode.
Did I mention it’s free to attend? And that the amazing group of guys who are making incredible progress on their books within the League of Adventurous Authors will be in the workshop? And that I’ll be opening the doors to the League at the end of this workshop? Well, it is free. The authors in the League will be attending. And you’ll have a chance to join the League when I reopen the membership again at the end of the workshop.
