How to Fix a Story
2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16 #202, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $45 - $54
You’ve written your story, but something is wrong. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but you believe it’s a serious problem. How do you know what to fix? In this seminar-style course, author/publisher Mark O’Bannon (The Dream Crystal, The Dark Mirrors of Heaven, Warfare in Paradise) discusses how to analyze and fix a story. One of the main reasons that stories fail is because the writer is using obsolete techniques. In the first part of this session, you’ll learn some of the advanced writing techniques used by professional writers. In the second part, you’ll learn how to break down a story into its essential elements. Finally, you will discover how you can take an average story and turn it into a great story.
