Read MoreI came to this course having already written my first draft. I needed to figure out how to polish it up and figured I'd check out Plotstormers I before hitting up Plotstormers II, and I'm really glad I did. I was chuffed to find that my plot already roughly fitted into the recommended structure, but this course helped me to see what was working and what wasn't, and add in some missing drama/tension/plot. I have two timelines intertwined, so I still need to work out what order they all need to go in, and some of my chapters are definitely in the wrong order, but I now have a really clear view of what I'm aiming for before I go ahead with the next draft.

Read MoreThis course was amazing and literally does what it says on the tin, in helping you form a solid writing habit. I'ts been great for me to get back into my writing. Not only has it helped me to actually write, it's given me confidence and self belief which i was massively lacking previous to the course. I am now going to look into the other courses and work on my novel. Thanks for a great kick up the bum!
