The heart of your story is in the hero's growth as a person. Learn how to start plotting the RIGHT story from your very first draft by digging deep into WHAT is holding your protagonist back and WHY they choose to become their best self. Sue's techniques break down storytelling in simple, intuitive ways that traditional writing methods often muddy. Stop wasting time spinning your creative wheels and start writing stories readers will remember... WITHOUT having to rewrite the story a million times.

Hi Reader! I am a big Ansel Adams fan. πŸ“· There is something about the way he captured emotion in his photographs that just ✨ lights me up. But only some of his images evoke that gut-clenching, tear-inducing feeling of rapture in me. πŸ€” And I wonder why that is?

Sometimes the story we're trying to tell is not the one that comes out on...

Hi Reader! Have you ever run from a dinosaur? No? Well, if you're curious, it looks like this... (Yes, that really is me flailing away from a T-Rex.) As creatives, we can find inspiration anywhere, and thinking back on my family trip to Hawaii made me realize that I'm real damn good at empowering my own worst fears. Looking at that video now is fun. I think about how well it turned out, how comical my arm-waving looks. But then I remember my mindset in the moment, when the tour guide told us...

Cover of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas

Hi Reader! Have you ever read a book you just cannot stop thinking about? Well that's me right now with A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Let's take a moment here to chat about a little quirk of mine that gets me into so much trouble. I am STUBBORN. You can pretty much rely on me to do the opposite of what: someone tells me to do, someone thinks I should do, or everyone else is obsessing over. For the most part, I'm pretty happy with the way this works out for me. πŸ€·β™€οΈ But...
