Your DIs (Drill Instructors): Elle James and Delilah Devlin May 31 - June 26 What you can look forward to during Plotting Bootcamp: Learn a methodical approach to harness your creativity in order to produce an in-depth plot for your next novel! Sound scary? It is-when you're staring at an empty page without a compass and a map to guide you through the novelistic jungle. Your DIs will lead you through four weeks of activities that will help strengthen your abilities to: capture the conflicts, the major plot line and subplots; deepen your knowledge of your characters; and conceive of and develop an in-depth, by-chapter description of your book. Elle and Delilah will accomplish this with weekly lessons, bi-weekly chats and daily online communication. Be ready for bivouac! Interested?

Testimonials I would
highly recommend this course to everyone who is even thinking about
writing a book. Thanks for all the
insight. You taught me how to think as a novel writer after many years
of banging out ad copy. Thank you Elle, Megan
and Delilah for this wonderful class. I have learned so much and now
I feel I have the write tools to plot out my stories. I would recommend
this class to anyone interested in writing. Your hands-on style, chats
and reading the other members' postings have really helped me to see
where I have gone wrong and when I'm on the right path. Yes, I would
recommend the course to others. I learned so much. I started the boot
camp with no experience with an online writing workshop, no story
and, worse, no clear idea for one. The bootcamp forced me to make
time, think, and plot! Best of all the exercises help inspire me!
So, now I have a story to work with. Elle, Delilah, and Megan, I especially
appreciated your individual positive and constructive feedback. You
helped keep me thinking, encouraged, and moving forward. As always I
have learned so much. I love the Roses classes and if this story makes
it to contract, you can expect a grateful acknowledgement as well!
I’m consistent in recommending the Roses (from workshops to webpage)
to every writer I know. I’ll see you at the next Bootcamp, and
probably at a course or two in the interim. Thanks for all the personal
attention, consideration, caring and the all around good time! Thank you Elle, Megan
and Delilah for this really great workshop. I've also used the templates
on my WiP, and have spotted a couple of gaps in the plot which I need
to work on. An informative,
useful and enjoyable bootcamp. I will definitely
recommend this to others. I made several breakthroughs with this book
because of the workshop. Thank you Elle, Megan
and Delilah for such a worthwhile and fantastically fun course –
I signed up because plotting is the thorn in my side and not a good
problem to have when you’re a novelist! I feel more confident
and much more equipped to tackle plotting from here on in. I can’t emphasize
how much I have loved this class and how much I have gotten out of
it! When I started, this is what I had so far – “I want
to write an inspirational romance”. That’s it. Now I know
exactly where I’m going. Taking the Plotting
Bootcamp class was the best move I could have made! I went from having
one dimensional plots that revolved soley around the hero and heroine
to having rich, interesting plots that were just plain fun to write!
I recommend taking it whether you're just starting out or you're an
experienced hand at plotting. There's something for everyone in this
terrific class! I love the Plot Outline
worksheet. I've always used something similar to this, but Delilah and
Elle, the rows of information that you track on your sheet makes planning
the story much more in-depth than the skeleton outline I've always used. Thank you so much, Elle
and Delilah, for the insights into plotting. The worksheets are really
helping me to work out my story. The early Saturday morning chats helped
tremendously as well. I've never brainstormed a story idea out loud
before. It was a good experience and a very helpful. Thank you so much! Plotting
Bootcamp was wonderful! I learned so much. It really made a difference
in where I was going wrong. I've read and read about how to write since
I started this about, hmmm, 6 years ago, but until now I didn't realize
I wasn't asking the right questions at the right time. I wanted to offer a
great big thanks for this wonderful bootcamp. The tools are wonderful
and I'm going to utilize them going forward on every project! Great
stuff. I really enjoyed it,
and more to the point, I feel it's given me some great information and
taught me a lot.
