Course Description

Learn how to write a story that will suck your readers in and get them to share your work with friends, family, and co-workers.

Story is the most powerful force in the world, but so few people even understand what it is or how it works.

In Punch them in the Gut you will learn:

The power of story and how it continues to shape our world.
The brain's need for story and how to keep rewarding your reader.
What a story is and the parts that must be included to keep a reader turning the page.
How to tailor a story for instant emotional engagement with your reader.
The three scenes in each story that must be solid and how to build them.
How to create an emotional impact that will get your reader to share your work instantly.
How to intensify your story with believable outer problems.
How you can change the world with your writing.
And much, much more!!

Gain maximum reader engagement by understanding What Readers Want.

This course represents 1000's of hours of research in writing and psychology boiled down to the core level of understanding so you can take what you learn and put it right to work.

The course includes eight modules, designed to build a foundation of the psychology of reading first. As you move forward in the course, you will learn how to structure and write your story to tap into the reader's deep emotions.

Punch them in the Gutalso includes worksheets that will help you identify reader's emotions, protagonist's emotions, tools to increase tension, and more.

I set out to learn how to sell more books, but I found so much more. This research has changed not only how I write stories but how I view the world. It has changed my life. As authors, we represent the one sure fire way of changing people's lives. Why? Because it is only in a story that a person can experience deep empathy and truly see the world through a new set of eyes. I excited to share this with you.

Who this course is for:
This course is designed to teach authors and storytellers to write what the brain wants to read. If you already have too many fans voraciously consuming your work and sharing it with their friends this course is not for you.

The person has a deluded sense of changing the world. People learn from stories yes, but regardless of what is intended to be taken away, perception is filtered through our beings to mean whatever our morels and thoughts make it out to be. One cannot change the world in ways that they want through stories. People are not that pliable. Congrats for figuring out people with post traumatic stress are helped with creative writing. It helps them to rationalise in a way that is dissociated with the events that caused their trauma while converting the focus off their circumstances and events. This creates a way to rationalise their situation without focusing on it directly. Also gaining the ability in ones mind that they are doing something about it, making them feel less helpless. But I'm a philosopher, not a psychologist.

So far the course is well structured, addresses important questions with the complexity that they deserve to be credible, moving and interesting.
Still enjoying the course so far :)
The entire course was living up to my expectations, it was engaging and motivating. I can highly recommend it!

For the most part I felt it was a lower level than where I'm at, however it did good to solidify my knowledge and fill in some holes.
