What You’ll Learn:
Make Your Story Matter
What makes a good story? And how do WE make a good story? First, I’ll clear away the fears and obstacles that have kept you from writing, (like, you think your life has been too dull to matter? [Absurd!] OR that you’re not a good enough writer? [WRONG!]
Make Your Story Real
I’ll teach you the difference between the Outer Story and the Inner Story. Then we’ll learn how to make the Outer story come alive on the page through Scene-making. With this approach, even small quiet moments can become captivating stories.

Finally, we’ll learn how to discover the Inner story. We’ll focus on an amazing technique that will free you to discover healing and meaning through the events of your life.
