There is a great lecture series I’ve found that delves into many of the most important techniques in learning to write a serious writer should learn. It is called, “Writing Great Fiction,” by professor James Hynes. I have listened to the series on Audible and have now downloaded the pdf that accompanies the series so I may more seriously apply these lessons to my own writing. Every serious author should constantly invest in his craft or he may find himself writing the same story over and over again, making the same mistakes too. I do not have the time to take classes in person, so I am doing this online, and offline whenever I have the time. If you commute or jog or exercise anywhere where listening to a class is convenient, I suggest taking this course.
The following are my notes from my studies. They will not always be perfect, but they will be my journey forward and you can see for yourself how my writing is being transformed. If you would like to take this class with me, you can post your practice exercises in the comments and share your journey, too.
