Here’s a situation I’ve seen with a lot of writers over the years.
They have an idea they’re excited about. They dive in and write a great one, two, or three chapters.
And that’s where they stop.
Some endlessly rework Chapter One; others make it three (ish) chapters in, then stop altogether.
If that sounds familiar, this free workshop is for you.
Free online workshop (45 mins, plus next steps / Q&A)
Date: Monday 14th September
Time: 7pm BST (UK) / 2pm EDT (New York) / 11am PDT (Los Angeles)
Recording: Available the next day (but come live if you can!)
Just pop your name & email in below to sign up.
You’ll also receive my weekly newsletters & blog posts about writing. You can unsubscribe at any time.
During the workshop, we’ll be going through:
- Why resistance to even starting Chapter One is normal (and beatable!)
- What you can do if you feel like you can’t move on till Chapter One is “right”
- The crucial plot point (the Hook) that comes in your first chapter …
- … and the plot point (the Inciting Event) you’re aiming for in chapters two-four.
- How your protagonist’s character arc will look in the first three chapters
There’ll be time for Q&A at the end, but if you have any questions in advance that you’d like me to cover during the workshop, just drop me an email (ali@aliventures.com).
