The Writer's Seed: Cultivating Story Ideas is a six-hour course where, through a ton of writing drills, you'll learn how to create a writing plan out of a premise.  We'll teach you the components of a good outline, as well as a concrete, repeatable process for cultivating these components. You'll leave the class having practiced outlining to a level of detail that makes the writing phase a cinch.

Note: This course is part of our Storywriting Skills Series, which is a more advanced set of courses compared to the rest of our offerings. We recommend this series to those who have taken at least one of our Niche or Storywriting Basics Courses. Despite that, we do not impose any pre-requisites for this course, especially if the student decides that this is the class they need.
