Writing the Wave is an organic approach to writing that will jump-start your creative process and free the writer inside you—even if you’re just starting or have been struggling for years. Working with both your creative and analytical mind through a series of imagination-boosting techniques, the course has helped thousands of aspiring writers get to the page and thrive there.
Writing the Wave is perfect for you if:
- You have never written at all but would love to try;
- You have tons of great ideas but don’t know what to do with them;
- You know that you want to write but aren’t sure what you want to write;
- You feel what you’re writing now could be more or better or different;
- Your well has run dry and you’re just plain blocked.
Writing the Wave offers easy to follow, step-by-step writing exercises to break down the creative process into basic parts. With each new assignment, you will produce a new piece of writing and acquire a writing technique you will use again and again. By the end of the course, you will face the blank page with confidence and excitement rather than fear and doubt.
