Perhaps you’ve started and stopped a hundred times and can’t seem to see these through to the finish. Possibly you have great ideas for characters but can’t seem to find their story.

For more than twenty years, I’ve been traveling the nation and the world teaching writers just like you how to put together excellent works of fiction, whether they be novels, short stories, or even screenplays.
