Act II

JK Rowling's series outline

Act II represents the most grueling part of the journey, the relentless unforgiving slog as you put down one word after another for months on end. 

To aid writers in improving the skills they crave, Laser Lessons are offered weekly and cover specific aspects of writing. Sessions last an hour and are conducted online via Google Meet. 

Each block of 6 lessons deals with a particular topic. Links to suggested reading references will be posted prior to each lesson to promote discussion. If you don't have time to do the reading, not to worry. Come listen and learn. Worksheets will be provided when applicable.  

And for those who could benefit from teaming up with an accountability buddy, partnering opportunities will be offered each step of the way.

Writing on a Whim craftique feedback & writing sessions take place immediately after Laser Lessons and are free of charge

$25 per session or $125 per 6-lesson block. See our Box Set page for multi-block discounts. (This is a pay-what-you-can activity) 

Note: If enough participants live in the area, we can conduct these sessions in-person at Studio 14 as well as online
