Writing: The Craft of Story

- There's nothing I love more than working with writers because writers are the most powerful people in the world. Writers can change the way people think simply by giving them a glimpse of life through their characters' eyes. The place where most writers go wrong has nothing to do with how well they write and everything to do with their ability to tell a story. And make no mistake, it's story that hooks the reader, the viewer, the listener. That's why the most important thing a writer can learn is what a story really is and how to craft one, which is what I'll be focusing on in this course. I'm Lisa Cron, and welcome to The Craft of Story. Together we'll explore what the brain's hardwired expectations are for every story we hear. When we're done, you'll come away with the tools to craft a story that'll have 'em at hello. So let's get started.
