OVERVIEW
The 3-Day Quest Writing Workshop offers participants the opportunity to learn the foundation of character-based screenwriting, workshop an original story, and develop an outline, all in a weekend with Scott Myers as your teacher, mentor and guide.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AND DO
- Day 1: We begin by digging into the first of two sections of the Core curriculum: Character. Then we workshop character treatments for the Protagonist from each writer’s story. Finally we explore a series of brainstorming exercises to engender each writer’s exploration of their story.
- Day 2: We interweave theory and practice, covering one other key part of the Core curriculum — Plot — as well as Prep exercises designed to help writers wrangle their stories.
- Day 3: We spend the entire day workshopping stories, building out major Plotline points, fleshing out subplots, then rounding them into shape toward a comprehensive outline.
In addition, I create a private online site for workshop members where they continue the process after our time together, enabling and motivating them to complete their first draft.
3-DAY QUEST WRITING WORKSHOP DETAILS
Sessions run from 10AM-5PM, then we adjourn to a local watering hole to continue socializing and discussing the craft of writing. By embracing the spirit of constructive critiques, we create a positive evaluative environment, a combination of honest feedback always aimed at the story, not the writer, and the benefit of brainstorming ideas for each writer’s project.
WHO SHOULD CONSIDER TAKING THE 3-DAY QUEST WRITING WORKSHOP
Screenwriters, TV writers, novelists, and playwrights who want to learn a character based approach to story structure, and a proven, professional process to prep-writing.
TESTIMONIALS
“The Workshop was unbelievable; your ability to foster such a positive, encouraging environment for the exchange of ideas is the reason it worked. Every single person grew their story from a loose idea into something that resonated deeply with the group.”
— Jonathan Barger
“As an advertising writer I’ve been in a million brainstorms. But Scott’s classes are special. They’re more like braincyclones, where we generated a mass of powerful ideas that elevated our stories into places that surprised and delighted us all.”
— Matt Sherring
“I’m not trying to blow sunshine up your skirt when I say I got more out of those four days than I did in all of grad school.”
