I'm also a visual learner with a love for video editing so this self-paced, six-week class is sure to grab the attention of even reluctant learners. CLASS STRUCTURE: - six-week, self-paced class - 1 assignment each week WHAT YOU NEED? - Nothing but a piece of paper and a writing utensil (or, if you prefer, a computer) for the writing assignments RESOURCES During the plot portion of the class, I mention the Plot Dot: A Simple 8-Step Guide To Writing Unforgettable Fiction & Writing A Book Readers Love by Derek Murphy. This book is not necessary for the course, but simply additional reading on plot structure for interested students.
