What is the Write Lifers? A monthly writing group focused on both the craft AND process of writing, building camaraderie and skills, which meets the *2nd + 4th Wednesday of every month at 5pm PT. You may pay monthly ($80) or annually ($880--this gives you one month free). You will NOT be auto-billed. In each session we:

• Discuss an essay or questions related to writing process
• Engage in a short writing craft lesson
• Practice writing prompts
• Set goals for accountability
• During the month I will also send out readings and other resources
• You will also have access to a Google drive where you may exchange work for peer critique

*Please note that sometimes these dates may change, due to holidays or other situations, but you will be apprised in advance.

What makes those books you can’t put down until your eyelids are sandy and your brain is buzzing, compelling? Unforgettable, unique characters who are real, flawed, complex and human. In this class writers will learn what it takes to build complex characters, unlock the essentials of point of view (POV), learn about key “character cues” crucial to demonstrating character, and much more. All classes are non-refundable, but you may receive a credit for any reason, which can be applied to any of Jordan's services.

What makes a good story so compelling? Characters. Unforgettable, vivid, chatty, bold, wild, foolish, singular characters that are so authentic, so true and real, that you feel as if you’re living in their world—or, even better, inside of them. Strong point of view creates a powerful, sensory experience that draws readers into your characters’ inner landscape and confidently directs your audience to the story you’re trying to tell. When the masterful use of point of view is applied to a story, it won’t just tell readers about an experience; it will allow them to live it through a character. Writing the Intimate Character eschews the dull, didactic explanations of point of view so commonly found in other writing texts. Instead you’ll discover a point-of-view system based on character cues: specific behaviors, sensory perceptions, dialogue, and visual imagery.
