Fiction & Nonfiction Writing: Creating The Intrigue:

There’s nothing safe about a good story. Not if it’s a living thing. Not if it snaps off the page and bites you. Stories were never meant to be docile things. Just sitting there. Just twiddling their thumbs.
A good story – a great one, even – will affect you physically. Your heart will pound. Or swell. Your mouth will whimper. Your throat will tighten. You’ll laugh so loud and unexpectedly the reaction will scare you. You’ll feel. You’ll be lost. You’ll enter a mysterious world and fight to ever be forced out again.
Now, that’s a good story.
But how do we make our stories come alive like that? How do we make them breathe and gasp and make our reader wiggle with discomfort or satisfaction? How do we become a writer with that kind of force?
How? We sharpen all the writer’s tools – some known, some secret – until a little blood is left on the edges. Are you game?

Memoir Writing: The Story of You:

The horizon is calling. There’s a story to tell out there. A story of loss and love, war and victory, comical mishaps and brutally unfunny lessons. And, that story is yours.
You’ve been gathering experiences and knowledge and wisdom like precious glittery stones stuffed into a velvet bag and secreted away into lockbox.
It’s time to put them on display.
Your stories could have impact on the lives around you far beyond what you can imagine, as well as an impact on the lives yet to come. There are treasured insights there. And priceless intuition.
Don’t keep it hidden. Tell your story. Now is the time.
In these writing classes, you’ll get all the tools you need for the journey and insight on how to make this your grandest escapade, yet.

Business Writing Skills That Produce:

The silent killer attacking your time and sabotaging your potential could be as innocent as the words you type.
Written communication in business is bottomless. Your communication with clients/customers/co-workers is frequently through email. Your work is generally outlined in reports. Your sales pitches are often given through presentations and proposals. Your successes, findings, requests, recommendations, all eventually end up in black and white.
But, are you seeing the results you want? Or, do you dread when another writing project hits your desk? Be confident, prepared, and in control of your written
communication by bringing your words into focus.
It’s easier than you think. All you need are a few simple-to-learn, easy-to-execute writing guidelines to streamline your time and increase understanding between you and your intended audience.
