Discover Your Creative Writing Compass
Consider just how often you tell stories. On a daily basis, you express yourself to family and friends, as well as strangers via social media. What should be a source of bliss — creativity — can also generate confusion and doubt, even paralysis. That's because it matters what stories you tell and how you tell them. With this course, Dan Millman and Sierra Prasada — father and daughter coauthors of The Creative Compass — offer guidance and encouragement to help you push through common blocks to writing or any form of creativity. They demystify the process without dispelling the magic. The hard-won truths they articulate, and the innovative exercises they present, are designed to help guide your creative development and practice.
Connecting with Your Inner Storyteller
Through this illuminating program, Dan and Sierra connect you with your inner storyteller. With each subsequent lesson, they recommend individual exercises and techniques, and give suggestions for further reading, so you can make the most of the course. They also present a progressive series of writing assignments that will enable you to gain more direct experience navigating the five stages that represent the major movements in the creative journey: Dream, Draft, Develop, Refine, and Share. These five stages capture the key turning points that take a writer from a sticky idea to a published book, as well as a musician from a melodic phrase to a song or symphony, or an innovator from an intriguing concept to a popular invention. Whether you're a writer, artist, or innovator, you can explore opportunities for creative and personal fulfillment with their insightful approach.
