This class gets up close and personal with the bones of bestselling fiction based on Dwight Swain's revolutionary approach to storytelling….with a fresh look at how it can revitalize your process. Whether you call it “scene and sequel,” “disasters and decisions,” or “action and reaction,” this fundamental storytelling pattern allows you to pace your plot, escalate your action, and find your story’s heat and flow with a clear structural strategy that simplifies the process of planning, drafting, and revising your book.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">NOTE: registering for Part 1 of the class will also register you for Part 2. Nonmembers signing up: the $50 fee includes BOTH sessions.&nbsp;</p>

About Damon Suede

Bestselling author Damon Suede has earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director… but writing has ever been his bread and butter. Beyond romance fiction, Damon has been a full-time writer for print, stage, comics, and screen for three decades. He has won some awards, but counts his blessings more often: his amazing friends, his demented family, his beautiful husband, his loyal fans, and his silly, stern, seductive Muse who keeps whispering in his ear, year after year.
