You know the feeling. You sit down to write and the words come but something is off. The beginning keeps shifting or maybe your middle won’t build. So instead of making progress, you revise the first chapter for the fourth time and it still doesn't feel like the right door into the story.
Writers usually blame their prose when this happens. Or their discipline. Or the fact that they haven't found the right writing routine yet.
It's almost never any of those things.
When a draft stalls early, when the middle collapses into scenes that feel episodic and fine but don't stack into anything, when you can't tell whether the ending is working because you're not sure what it's supposed to deliver, it’s usually because the idea wasn't pressure-tested before you started building on top of it.
This course is about fixing that before you spend hours on the draft.
From Idea to Logline is a four-week async course that teaches you to use the logline as a tool to find out whether your concept is actually ready.
A logline is proof. If you can write one sentence that says who wants what, what's in the way, and what it costs if they fail, your concept has enough staying power to sustain a narrative. If you can't, that's information that’s better to have now instead of later.
Over four weeks, you'll build one cumulative document: your Draft-Ready Concept Kit. Each week adds a layer you'll actually use while you're drafting. This document will become your north star whenever you lose the thread.
This course is for you if you have an idea you love but you can't quite explain what it is. Maybe you know what it's "about" in a loose sense, but when someone asks you to describe the story, you talk for three minutes and still feel like you missed it.
