Description

Unleash your creativity and bring your story ideas to life in this experiential course designed to guide you through writing your very own tween fantasy graphic novel!

Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some ideas, this course will help you develop compelling ideas, build your ideas into a story arc and use a story-building framework that captivates young readers.

1. Understand the Evolution of Your Story

Remember, writing a story—or even a book—is a journey. Even if you’ve already developed your characters, outlined the steps they’ll take, and mapped out the story arc, your creative process doesn’t stop there. New ideas will continue to surface, and that’s a natural part of writing. Don’t rush this process! For example, I began writing my first "Tails from the Clinic" story in 2021, and it took until 2024 for it to fully develop and be ready for publication.

2. Use the 6-Step Framework and Story Arc

Now that you have a solid foundation from our previous lessons, it’s time to tie everything together. Use the 6-step framework and the story arc we’ve discussed to weave your ideas into a cohesive narrative. Even if you only have a rough outline of how the story could unfold, keep writing! As you continue to write, your characters and story will naturally evolve.

3. Embrace the Writing Process

Understand that your story will change and grow over time—that’s part of the creative journey. But remember, the only way for your story to truly develop is by getting it down on paper. Keeping it in your mind won’t allow it to evolve. So, take this opportunity to tie all your creative ideas together and let your story come to life.
