Growing up telling stories on paper, no one came and told me how. This was education I learned from reading and studying the craft of writing.

Once I became a professional writer, I was often asked, How do you write a story? Being not a professional creative writing teacher, I want to share just basic steps on my process and how others do as well.

In this workshop, Participants will learn the 12 Steps to Storytelling. When someone wishes to write a novel, there is a time-proven formula to telling a story. This blueprint is known as The Hero’s Journey. In fact, it is the framework around which most any novel can be built and is comprised of twelve events your hero must face. This storytelling technique has been around since before the time of mythology and will last until men stop telling stories. Once you’ve learned this technique, you’ll be well on your way to mastering the art of storytelling and I recommend all new writers follow this outline of this workshop.
