Are you tired of taking classes from people who say things that sound really great, only to find that once you sit down to write, nothing they said is usable?
​
Yeah, me too.
​
That literally defines the early part of my writing journey.
​
The shame is, they don't need to teach writing the way they do. They teach it as mystical and magical only because that's how they were taught.
They use phrases like, “Just follow your Muse,” or “Find the Truth Behind the Truth.”

But... what are you supposed to do with that?
​
So I went on a three-decade quest to actually learn how to write creatively. ​
And you know what I found? None of this is mystical. Nor magical.
​
You know what else I learned? Writing's Hard.
​
For those out there promising things like, “Follow my twelve-step process and you’ll have a New York Times bestselling novel by Thursday...” Yeah, sorry to tell ya... all of that is BS. Worse, those folks are just trying to sell you something. Because...
​
Writing. Is. Hard.
​
And to master it, you must work just as hard. You need to understand what the job of "storyteller" actually is, learn what the job of a "reader" actually is, and roll up your sleeves and learn that "PROSE" is not "ENGLISH".
 
It's its own language. A language you don't speak.
​
Yet...
​
That's where I come in. Here you'll find books and videos that are chock-a-block full of information you'll be able to use TODAY to become a better writer TODAY.
​
Where other teachers of writing can use vague, academic terms that sound good but don't really give you anything actionable, I'll teach you how to see the invisible mechanics behind story, prose, reader expectation, structure, emotion, and grammar using straightforward, blue-collar lingo.
​
I break down practical elements of prose, like why writing a sentence “this way” makes readers feel one thing, while writing it “that way” changes the impact entirely.
​
Oh... and why that even matters. I'm a big "why" guy. Because when you understand "why" something works a certain way, you understand how to use it. Really use it.
​
But don't let that last statement fool you. Yes, I break all these crazy complicated topics down for you in ways that are not only understandable, but actionable. But...
​
Writing. Is. Hard.
​
Just because I can teach it doesn't mean that you'll get it instantly. In fact, you won't.
Because stated, Prose is a language.
​
If you wanted to learn to speak Japanese, you wouldn't go buy a book on Japanese, read it tonight, fly to Japan tomorrow, and expect to speak Japanese like you were born there.
​
Then why the hell do you think you can read a book on Prose and then speak it fluently?
​
Writing. Is. Hard.
But Writing, like Japanese or any other language, Can Be Learned.
​
Understanding it is the first step to mastering it. And you're in the right place for that.
But don't take my word for it. In addition to being a "why guy," I'm also a "prove it guy."

Below is my Show Your Story, Don't Tell It! class.
It's free. Create an account, add the class to your library, and decide for yourself if I'm just trying to sell you something, or if I can actually do what I say and truly and honestly teach you how to improve your writing.
