Hello!
Below are your bonuses, which I’ll be adding to from time to time (I’ll make sure to alert you via my newsletter when I do).
If you would like to have me to an assessment on your work’s bingeability during or after the course, do some craft counseling on the page for you, or book a call, you can do that below:
Method Writing : Free Course
Back in 2019 I taught a course for Writespace in Houston about applying the concepts of Method acting to writing.
Much of this work has been woven into this course, but I wanted you all to have access to the Method-specific language and readings, as well as the lectures.
It’s a free course!
I hope it supports you as you keep writing those bingeable stories!
Every now and then I’ll run some Office Hours, where Binge writers can gather live on Zoom to ask questions. The above archive has the recordings.
*** I especially recommend the October 2022 recording, which is me answering a single question about the intersection of writing process and bingeability, with lots of personal anecdotes.
