Overcome Writer's Block, Create a Daily Writing Practice, and Achieve Your Writing Goals

For experienced and new writers alike, almost everyone has used a brainstorming technique. But how many people have a whole toolbox of strategies to help them generate and organize ideas for almost any project? This course provides you with just that.

If you've ever been fishing, you know that same hook and bait will not work for every fish. In the same way, the same brainstorming technique will not work for every situation.

This course covers nine specific brainstorming strategies in three categories to help you achieve success in various situations, whether you are building a course concept, creating course organization and lectures, writing a short story or novel, working on a school project, or writing articles or blogs for profit. Everyone has to come up with ideas, and that can often be daunting.

This course gives you concrete tools, methods, and exercises to get you going on that project you've been putting off.

Content and Overview

The course is built for beginning and experienced writers, course creators, and individuals starting any kind of project.

In nine lectures, you will learn various types of brainstorming, topic exploration, and organizing. As a writing professor and team lead at a major university, I have thirteen years' experience teaching thousands of students from all over the world writing techniques through supportive one-on-one and results-driven strategies.

In each lecture, you will learn the brainstorming technique, situations for which it is appropriate (and ones it isn't), how to do the technique, best practices for success, a specific exercise to get started, an example of the technique, and specific guidelines to transfer your exercise to your writing and project goals.

This class contains a bonus lecture for course creators that includes specific strategies for using these methods to plan, build, and organize your own courses and lectures, as well as best practices for success. You will learn how to apply these strategies to building courses that will benefit build value for students, and success for yourself. There is also a quick access guide for using the "Rules of Writing Practice."

Additionally, you will learn how to use these techniques to help you beat writer's block, get past perfectionism, generate ideas, understand your topic, build arguments, organize ideas, and see how they relate. You will also learn techniques to help you find the best pattern of organization in your writing or course, support major ideas effectively, spot gaps that need more consideration, and eliminate unneeded redundancies.

Students that complete the course will have a toolbox of strategies to help them overcome writer's block, create a daily practice, and achieve their writing and course creation goals.
