Judy’s Online Writing Course will show you which kind of writer you are, not to mention the necessity of accepting the profession, or hobby, as a discipline if you are to succeed in being published.

Seeing your name in print for the first time is one of life’s little victories; and when you appreciate the value of story in your labours, even when you are working on a factual piece, you will be well on your way to understanding what the world of writing is really all about.

Effectively plumbing and relating the depths of your imagination takes a lot of practise. As Hemingway put it, “All writing is rewriting and rewriting.” Judy has set two assignments for five of the six lessons with detailed feedback so you can plot your progress in every area such as Characterisation, Dialogue, a Story’s Angle and the Point of View, etc, is concerned - in both fact and fiction.

You will come into contact with a tale’s Dramatic Purpose and its Dramatic Issue and appreciate how an efficiently told story satisfies human needs. You will meet the storytelling Archetypes and travel the Hero’s Journey, while tracing the supplied diagram to immediately comprehend how a successful narrative comes together. You will also understand why many aspiring novelists run out of steam after page 50 or so, because they have not been exposed to this secret.
