What to Expect: The Story Catalyst (8 Weeks to Compelling Narrative)
This 8-week course is a focused, intensive program designed to give you the foundational craft and clarity needed to tell your powerful life story. We will treat your testimony like fiction, focusing on making every sentence, scene, and character deeply compelling.
This course is designed to transition you from feeling "pulled to write" to having a polished, compelling opening sample in hand.
Our Focus: Crafting the Foundation
Over two months, we will hyper-focus on the elements that make a reader unable to put your story down:
Week Focus | What You Will Learn and Do | Key Outcome |
Weeks 1-2: Purpose & Voice | We define the central spiritual message and core conflict of your life story. You will practice cultivating the authentic, vulnerable voice needed to share your testimony effectively. | Clarity on Your "Why" and a confident narrative voice. |
Weeks 3-4: The Craft Toolkit | We apply powerful fiction techniques to your life. You'll learn how to develop yourself and others as complex characters and master the art of turning memories into vivid, engaging narrative scenes. | Mastery of Scene Building and Characterization. |
Week 5: Showing, Not Telling | An intensive workshop on eliminating summary. We focus on using sensory details, action, and dialogue to show the reader your spiritual growth and hardship, rather than just stating it. | Immediate improvement in the immediacy of your writing. |
Week 6: The Powerful Opening | We focus entirely on the crucial first five pages. You will draft and refine your opening, ensuring it immediately grabs the reader, establishes the stakes, and hints at the spiritual arc. | A Polished Opening Chapter (your hook). |
Week 7: Seamless Integration | Learn to weave the themes of "God's goodness" and hard-won lessons into your existing narrative without sounding preachy. The spiritual message will feel earned through the story. | Confident integration of your Testimony. |
Week 8: Polish & Launch | Final polish of your opening sample. We conclude by outlining the necessary steps to continue your draft, including how to structure the rest of your story and when to seek professional editing. | A Concrete Action Plan for your full manuscript. |
What You Will Walk Away With
A Solid Foundation: You will be equipped with the fundamental craft skills used by memoirists and novelists.
A Portfolio Piece: You will finish the course with a polished, ready-to-share opening chapter or essay that can serve as the cornerstone of your book.
Direction: A clear understanding of the next steps needed to complete your full-length manuscript.
What This Course Does NOT Include
This 8-week course does not include the extensive manuscript outlining, advanced revision strategies, or comprehensive publishing preparation that is covered in the 12-week program. It is focused solely on establishing the strongest possible start to your story.
