**No class week of November 24th

​

Plotting a novel can be a daunting task, one that makes our hands go sweaty and makes us reconsider why we chose to write one in the first place. By studying the classic three-act structure and its use throughout storytelling forms, we can make that task a little lighter and find new ways to bring our stories to life.

​

In this class, we will explore the acts of the three-act structure in detail. Each week, we will cover an act from the three-act structure in-depth, providing the opportunity to learn about and discuss the structure one act at a time. In between classes, you will apply the lesson to your own story and build your outline in stages, sharing your work in the online forum for review. You will also learn about how the main points of the three-act structure are connected and intertwined with your protagonist’s character or emotional arc and how to up the stakes at each stage of the plot arc.

​

Open to writers at any stage in the drafting process.

Reignite: 12 Weeks of Creative Self-Discovery

From January 7, 2026 through March 18, 2026

Zoom meetings every other Wednesday from 7:00-8:30pm EST/6:00-7:30pm CST/5:00-6:30 MST/4:00-5:30pm PST

Location: Online through Writers.com

​

Finding the time and space for our creative selves has become increasingly harder. With the numerous ways to distract us right at our fingertips, our sense of creativity can feel fractured or nearly unrecognizable. And when we lose our connection to our creativity, our artistic projects run the risk of becoming thin and inauthentic.

​

In this class, we’ll use Julia Cameron’s famous creativity text, The Artist’s Way, as a jumping off point and inspiration for finding or renewing our creative selves. Every other week, we’ll meet on Zoom for a discussion about the sections of her book, using the larger topics as the basis for our conversation and pulling both from her text and other texts, like The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin and Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert, among others, to dig deeper into these concepts. With each section, we’ll examine how these apply to the creative process and how to use them when you hit roadblocks in a project.

​

Writing and creativity-focused prompts will be posted online in the weeks between Zoom sessions, and you’ll have the opportunity to post your responses to these prompts. The online portion of the class will also be a place for support and the sharing of ideas among classmates.

​

**Please note that any feedback given on writing in this class will be positivity-focused and will not include traditional critique.

​

Writers and artists of all skill levels would benefit from this class. Whether you’re in the middle of working on a project, starting a new project, or trying to tap back into the parts of your creativity and artistry that have grown distant, this class is for you!
