Writing Your Truth with Joel L. Daniels (CRAFT TALK SERIES)
ABOUT THE CRAFT TALK
As storytellers, we are asked to be concise, to be clear... and to be truthful. In this course, you will be guided through the process of listening to that inner voice in order to get to the truth of our stories; a truth that will resonate not only to you, but to the audiences you are speaking to. Speaking our truth, and using the written word in order to do so, is a layered process. How do we walk the fine line of telling our story, in a way that is compelling, and loving to the characters included, including ourselves? In this course, you'll leave with some tips on how to go about it in a way that feels comfortable, and real.
