How to Write Your First Book

by Rachel Astor

5,547 people have taken this course

Have you always thought you had a novel in you? Do you sometimes find yourself conjuring up scenarios, characters, settings and more? Imagine finally getting all that creativity out onto the page. Most people believe writing a novel has to be hard, or that it will take too much time, or they simply have no idea where to start.

But what if you could have a completed novel just six weeks from the moment you start plotting?

This course will show you how to go from an inkling of a story to an entire novel in six weeks. The secret is in the quick writing method and the detailed book map - because once you know where you're going, all those fears of "I can't do this" will melt away. And if you've already done the work of ironing out the "big picture" from the very beginning, you'll be free to let your characters, settings, actions, etc. come alive. Your writing will flow like you never thought possible.

In this course you will:
  • Find out where to find the time to write, even if you think it's impossible
  • Plot your novel step-by-step
  • Create great characters readers will love (or hate)
  • Learn the purpose of subplots - it might not be what you think
  • Discover the importance of emotional impact and how to create it
  • Map your entire book so you'll know what will be on every page
  • Use the quick-writing method to write your novel
Imagine what it will feel like to type "the end" on your first novel. What would that sense of achievement and creative expression be like? Nicolas Sparks says, "Writing the last page of the first draft is the most enjoyable moment in writing. It's one of the most enjoyable moments in life, period." This course will show you step-by-step exactly how to write the book that's inside you.

Who should take this course:
  • Anyone who doesn't think they have time to write a novel but want to
  • Creatives who'd like to learn about plot, characterization, subplots, etc.
  • People who think writing a novel seems too daunting or overwhelming
  • Those looking for a new artistic hobby or creative outlet
  • Anyone who has ever said to themselves, "I have a book in me"
What Others Are Saying

"This will help you put what is in the back of your mind onto paper. Complete with exercises and lists, this [course] can provide the clarity and perhaps even the inspiration needed by a novice writer."- Chris

Healing Mantras for Anxiety and Depression

by Harrison Graves MD

Mantra Meditation is a powerful holistic alternative to prescription drugs when it comes to treating anxiety and depression. Mantra Meditation, also called Mantra Therapy, is an important part of Ayurveda, the holistic medicine from India and the healing branch of yogic science. Sanskrit mantras, starting with OM, are sound formulas, packed with energy and intention, that have a profound effect on the body-mind. When these sound waves (mantras) are combined with thought waves (intentions), they become powerful tools for insight, healing, creativity and spiritual growth. The healing powers of Sanskrit chanting are just now being discovered in the Western world. Mantras use sound waves, sound energy, to heal our minds on the subconscious level, where the roots of our modern anxieties are found. In this course you will learn seven of the most healing mantras from this Ayurvedic/Yoga of Sound tradition -- seven mantras for soothing anxiety and breaking through depression.

Cancer Horoscope: Courageous Emergence

Courageous Emergence

September 28, 2019

It is likely that you will spend a great deal of time alone today, even if your usual duties involve working cooperatively with others. You may at first find that your experience in solitude is refreshing and relaxing, and this can inspire you to delve deeper into your self-imposed seclusion. However, after a time, you may begin to feel isolated from your peers, and your already established reservations can make reconnecting with family, friends, and colleagues somewhat difficult. If you remind yourself today that these individuals still care for you, you may find that your reintegration into society transpires more smoothly.

While the time we spend in solitude nourishes our minds and souls in a profound way, a lengthy period spent alone can leave us feeling isolated and reserved. Once this transformation takes place, the notion of returning to the society of our peers can be a frightening one. However, when we are courageous enough to overcome our fears, we discover that we are never truly secluded. Each time we willingly isolate ourselves, we can be sure that there are people who are joyously anticipating the moment of our emergence. This knowledge provides us with the courage and the will to reintegrate ourselves into first the company of the people we care about and then the presence of those who exist outside our sphere of influence. You will no longer feel that your time in solitude has isolated you from others today when you choose bravely to re-enter society at large.

Starting New

Starting New

by Madisyn Taylor

We can choose to start over in this very moment, there's no need to wait for a new year, month, or week.

There are times in our lives that lend themselves to starting something new. The beginning of a new year, finishing school, leaving a job, or changing homes--these all are times that turn our minds to fresh starts. Their advantage is that they bring with them the energy of that event, creating a tide of change around them that we can ride to our next shoreline. But we can choose to start anew anytime. In any moment we can decide that a bad day or a relationship that's gotten off on the wrong foot can be started again. It is a mental shift that allows us to clean the slate and approach anything with fresh eyes, and we can make that choice at any time.

Starting new is most powerful when we focus our attention to what we are choosing to create. Giving all of our attention to the unwanted aspects of our lives allows what we resist to persist. We need to remember to leave enough room in the process of new beginnings to be kind to ourselves, because it takes time to become accustomed to anything new, no matter how much we like it. There is no need to get down on ourselves if we don't reach our new goals instantly. Instead, we acknowledge the forward motion and choose to reset and start again, knowing that with each choice we learn, grow, and move forward.

Making the choice to start anew has its own energy--it's a promise made to you. The forward momentum creates a sort of vacuum behind it, pulling toward you all you need to help you continue moving in your chosen direction. Once the journey has begun, it may take unexpected turns, but it never really ends. Like cycles in nature, there are periods of obvious growth and periods of dormancy that signal a time of waiting for the right moment to burst forth. Each time we choose to start anew we dedicate ourselves to becoming the best we are able to be.

How to Communicate Like an Influencer

by Dale Carnegie and Joseph Berg Esenwein

At some point in almost everyone's life, we are called upon to speak in public. You could be asked to give a toast at your best friend's wedding, or speak at a memorial service for someone near and dear. Perhaps you just want to be more comfortable in a social situation. In business, public speaking is routine, whether you are required to give a presentation or lecture or speak at a conference. For many people, this assignment creates a to-do list in their minds that includes all the important points they want to make in their public address. For millions of other people, however, the thought of public speaking feels like having a first-class seat on a runaway train. The good news is that with hard work and determination, you can minimize your fear so that you can stand up and let your voice be heard without worry. All it takes is practice! In this course, Dale Carnegie and J. Berg Esenwein break down the components of a winning public speech in down-to-earth language, and give you many exercises to sharpen your skills and improve your performance. You'll learn that public speaking isn't really about you--it's about your message! With consistent practice and determination, you'll learn how to convey your message to a group of people, no matter the size or setting. The self-confidence you gain from speaking in public effectively--whatever the occasion--will have a positive impact on your life.

Cancer Horoscope: Thoughts Reshaped By Imagination

Thoughts Reshaped By Imagination

September 27, 2019

Your thoughts will likely be marked by liveliness today as you interact with the people who play supporting roles in your environment. You may find conversation more pleasurable than usual as the notions posed to you can ignite entirely new ideas in your mind. Thus aroused and alert, you will likely engage in a form of communal brainstorming that can provide you with the outlet you need to refine the concepts that may prove important later. When an idea interests you today, your initial reaction may be to share it with a colleague or loved one. You may find that indulging such whims gives you a chance to expound upon your thoughts in order to refine them.

The intriguing yet indistinct ideas others put forth during the course of casual conversation can become seeds that grow into refined concepts and opinions when nurtured in the hospitable environment of our minds. These unformed notions stimulate our curiosity and mental agility, inciting us to mull them over from a variety of diverse angles. The time we spend talking to others can serve as a brainstorming session that not only enables our conversational partners to test their notions but also allows us to see how they respond to our thoughts. We thus inspire liveliness within one another and help each other make the most of the errant ideas that pass in and out of our minds. You will enjoy conversing with intelligent and thought-provoking people today as your dialogues can have a profoundly invigorating effect on your mental prowess.
