Classic Secrets in Craft
What are the secrets to writing better stories and novels?
SECRETS TO BEING A BETTER WRITER
Each week will cover a myth of writing and how the myth is both right and wrong and learning how to use the myth and get past it will help you become a better craft person with your novels and stories.
One myth example that we will not cover is the myth of starting a story with action. Everyone knows that is wrong. You can see that by simply typing in the first 400 words of any major writer's work. So too obvious, and we cover that in Depth in Writing and Advanced Depth.
But there are many, many myths that once you realize they are a myth and can find the bad of the myth and the nugget of truth in the myth, you will be come a better fiction writer.
This is a craft workshop. No business, but down the road we might add a workshop in along this same format for business. But this workshop is to improve your craft.
