The Power of Point of View in Fiction Writing
|
|
Understanding Point of View is one of the most challenging and liberating techniques for the fiction writer. Point of View gets you out of yourself and into your character’s head, heart and gut. In essence, you become your character. Your characters come alive as never before. You visit worlds beyond the mind's horizons. On this TeleSeminar, I demystify this process. Be ready for a terrific ride!

Accessing Your Writer's Voice: Defanging the Inner Critic
|
|
We all have a voice inside us that says nasty things like, "You're not a writer! Who wants to read what you write?" And more...This TeleSeminar shows you how to identify and defang your Inner Critic by reclaiming the voice of the inner self, with your Muse as a trusted guide.
Why Do You Write?
|
|
There are many reasons why we write, although we're in touch with only a few at a conscious level. To confound the situation, the Inner Critic often finds the reasons we write unworthy, even ridiculous. This causes havoc in the writer's psyche and can lead to Writer's Block. To understand the passions and yearnings that drive us to write, we need to use the heart as the divining tool. This teleseminar helps you uncover reasons that you write that might surprise you, and gives you ammunition to stand up to the Inner Critic!
