Did you hear about this new movie, Cocaine Bear? Apparently, it’s based on the true story of a giant grizzly bear that
ate a massive amount of cocaine and (understandably) went on a rampage. Now if I was wandering the woods — especially if I was off the main path or worse yet . . .
lost — I’d be scared enough of a running into a regular bear. But a cocaine bear? No thanks. If you’re like me and you’d prefer to avoid the threats the
unmapped wild might contain, then you’ll want to join my free STORY PLAN INTENSIVE program today. Here’s why: First, the creation of your story plan outline will work as a story development tool. We’ll use it to craft a story that goes where it needs to go exactly when it needs to get there. Then it will become your roadmap for the drafting process. You’ll always know what scene you need to write next and exactly what needs to happen in that scene. There will still be room for discovery and creativity but your outline will keep you from
getting too far off-track, lost in the woods, or eaten by a cocaine bear. Finally, your outline will serve as a story analysis tool to initiate the revisions process following the completion of your first draft. You'll have an evergreen document that will change and grow along with your story, and will always serve as the foundational framework upon which your revisions can be
mapped. Your story plan is an idea creation machine, a drafting roadmap, and a framework for the revisions process. It'll give you focus and direction throughout the creation of your novel. Sick of feeling lost in your story? Join the STORY PLAN INTENSIVE challenge today and you’ll have a clear path to
follow. The challenge is free. To participate, all you need to do is sign-up here. Your pal in
