MAY 5/30 TO 6/25

SCENE STRUCTURE by Connie

Action rules, introspection is dead. Not entirely true, but every author must learn how to write action and bring events to life on the page. The goal is to generate mental pictures in readers' minds so they can feel the story, live the story. This course deals with scene and sequel overview, distinguishing action scenes from sequels and gaining a mastery of the principles of cause and effect, including how to use smaller beats to produce maximum impact.

BOOTCAMP SPECIAL CLINIC
Coming in May
May 23 — July 3

A 6-Week Bootcamp Clinic
EXPLORING THE HERO'S JOURNEY
taught by Connie Flynn

Mythology was made famous by Joseph Campbell and later applied to screenwriting and storytelling by Hollywood, yet the principles of this powerful tool to readers' subconscious common links are still only vaguely understood. Learn how the archetypes are actually placeholders and that the journey itself takes many forms. This course is six weeks long and features considerable discussion as well as exercises for employing the "Journey" method. We'll also use a textbook — THE WRITERS JOURNEY by Christopher Vogler — and take it apart chapter by chapter to discover how to use this structure to enhance our stories. It is highly recommended that you complete 1B-Characterization and 2B-Plot before taking this course.

FEE: $48
