Objective Story - Spring 2024 Cohort, Main Character - Dev (me), Obstacle Character - Jim (Instructor), Relationship Story - Mantee/Mentor, MC Domain - Universe, MC concern - Past (History of failure in using Dramatica), OC Domain - Mind, OC concern - Memory (Years of experience and wisdom), MC Resolve - Changed, Story Goal - Understanding how to write stories using Dramatica and Subtxt, Outcome - Sucess, Judgment - Good, If you don't know what the above terms mean, just know that this cohort will greatly help you achieve the storygoal of writing better stories.

You get what you put into this course, and Jim matches that, and then some. This course really stepped up my own personal understanding of Dramatica. With thinking not as the main character, but as the author. And a throughline as the motivational inequity of each perspective. As someone who was familiar to the theory and working with Dramatica, there were still some inklings of confusion that not only were cleared up, but the integrated and cooperative exercises within the course made it engaging and thought-provoking. With constant Q/A this is the course if you really want to create a strong foundation if you're about to begin a story, or have just finished and need to figure out if EVERYTHING is there.

This course is a ton of work. It will kick your butt. But it will also, I believe, revolutionize the way you approach your writing, and you will end up with a product that is massively better than if you had not taken this course and used Subtxt to help plan your piece.

Jim H. and Narrative First's Subtxt are brilliant! What I've learned about writing a "complete story" - much of which I didn't learn at university (English Lit. w/ MCL honors), and now by using Subtxt - has improved my storytelling and elevated it by +80%. Invest in yourself with Jim's training and you / your novels, too, will soon be ahead of the rest of the writing class!

Amazing in depth course on Narrative Structure. And Jim is the best!
