Everyone has a story to tell, and most everyone has a desire to tell it. What stops some is the mistaken belief that they can’t write. But if you can speak you can write. And the most important thing for a writer to do when telling their story is to speak the truth.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

 

• Mine your life for story ideas.
• Start with the who, what, where and when of your story.
• Use specific details.
• Raise the stakes by figuring out why you’re telling this story.
• Create a likable narrator, which means a vulnerable narrator.
• Practice by reading your story out loud and telling your story without reading it.
