Description
It’s easy to look around and think that other people are more creative than you are, or easier for them to tell a story, but that is never the case. We are all creative and have a story to tell no matter how mundane or small we think it is. If you look deep within yourself you will find the narratives that have been screaming to get out but we get so distracted with what everyone else is doing to take notice. The secret is simpler than you realize. Inspiration lies in the joys, pains, and daily frustrations of our own lives. The secret is you -- you are your own muse.
In this course you will learn:
-How to write creative text
-How to overcome writer’s block
-How to build creative confidence
-The importance of your voice, experiences, and emotions for creative inspiration
-And how to tap into the self and consciousness for stories and inspiration
In this two part workshop I will provide lectures and exercises that will help you write a narrative story. The class will circle around being your own muse and finding the stories within. In the second part I will show you how to take that story and draft it into a script format with actions, dialogue, and characters that have a clear, concise and simple premise.
This class is for:
-Creative writing enthusiasts, with or without former experience
-Amateur and professional writers, storytellers, artists or creatives willing to explore new methods
So have a pen and paper ready as this 2 part workshop will evoke emotions from you to create a story arc your audience can connect with -- motivating you to look within. Understand that the greatest artistic choice you can ever make is to use yourself as your own muse.
