Chunking is a relatively new term to represent an old concept. We used it with our kids to help them get through a major homework assignment.
"Dad, I have an essay due on Friday."
"How many words?"
"2000."
"Well, chunk it out. Do your research and take your notes today. Do your outline tomorrow. Expand the outline on Wednesday. Write the finished essay on Thursday night."
Writers follow the same pattern. Only we have to complain about each and every step and most of us won't proceed until each step is perfect. "Striving for perfection is the most distinguishing characteristic of the unsuccessful writer." - Coates
Now, about the group:
To new writers, there's no reason a good book shouldn't get published. You just need two things: a mentor and a great agent.
We can satisfy the first half of the equation.
Now you can spend four years and a couple of hundred thousand dollars to get a creative writing degree, or you can learn how to write with others for free.
This course provides a writer with what it takes to be an author. A deadline. We push for 5000 NEW words every two weeks. If you stick with it, your first draft can be completed in a year.
Think about it. How much have you really written in the last year?
About the workshop:
We've worked on hundreds of books over the years.
Call if you have any questions.
