The 90-Day Novel Writing (Live Online)

Unlock the story withinThe 90-Day Novel® is about making a contract with your subconscious. Your subconscious is the seat of your genius and there is a window of time that it can remain fully engaged in a creative task before it gets distracted, fatigued, or your ego begins to challenge it.Genius is not a noun — it's a verb. The 90-Day Novel® helps you tap into that deep inner wisdom to which we all have access by marrying the wildness of your imagination to the rigor of structure. Your left brain is logical. It loves to stay busy with tasks, and so we give it writing exercises that it quite enjoys, so that your right-brain (that part of your mind that transcends logic) is given enough space to see beyond your idea of your story and get down to the bedrock questions that are driving your narrative.Join the 80,000 plus writers who have taken the 90-day journey. By letting go of the result and surrendering to the process, The 90-Day Novel® will guide you to the completion of your first draft.About the workshopLive on ZoomWe meet once a week in a LIVE Zoom call for 14 consecutive weeks. (I'm always on fifteen minutes early to hang out and answer questions.) The lab is a safe and supportive environment for your imagination to soar. The workshops are a combination of craft lessons and stream-of-consciousness writing exercises. Each workshop ends with clear instructions on your homework for the week. If you can devote two hours a day, you will have a first draft of your novel completed by the end of 90 days.Watch the class anytimeYou are not required to take the workshop live. Many writers have day jobs or commitments during class hours, or sometimes life just gets in the way, therefore all of our sessions are recorded and are available for three weeks, respectively.Q & AEvery workshop ends with a review of your homework, followed by a Q&A where I answer all of your questions. This is a time to gain clarity on the principles discussed. The goal is leave each session with a basic confidence in where you are heading for that week.Daily lettersEvery morning a daily letter lands in your inbox. The letters were developed over the course of several years, and are a day-by-day guide through the process. Writers often comment on the synchronicity of the letters — on how they seem to meet you right where you are. While the letters focus on craft, they are also a response to the uncanny uniformity of experience shared by the many writers who have taken the 90-day journey before you.CommunityThe group forum is where you connect with your fellow classmates to share your experiences, hold yourself accountable, and take part in the daily discussion topics. Over the course of 90 days we discover that we're not alone - that our private struggles are universal and often provide clues into the world of our story.
