Our Topic: Three Story Method Essentials with J. Thorn

Do you have an amazing idea for a novel but you struggle to get words on the page? Maybe the problem isn’t writer’s block. Maybe you need a writing process.

He’s created a proven system for developing a plan that will bridge the gap between a collection of random notes and a cohesive first draft.

J. is going to show us how easy it is to apply the essential elements of the Three Story Method to improve our craft immediately.

You’re going to learn:

•  Why every scene or chapter must have a Conflict, Choice, and Consequence
• Why making something in the story world “wrong” can make everything right
• Why Choice is critical and how a poor one will turn readers off
• And more!
