1) Technique
2) Confidence
3) Self-awareness

If you get freaked out when it's time to pick a story, analyze your work, or deal with the blank page, then you're lacking one of those three things.

Lack of confidence will cause you to get stuck constantly. Lack of technique means you won't know how to fix a story problem, and you'll stall. Lack of self-awareness means your stories will lack emotional resonance i.e. they'll be flat. 

If you want to become a better storyteller you need 3 things:

TOTALLY SELF-pACED

Featured On

I've been obsessed with story for over 30 years.

I grew up in a small agricultural town in BC that had less than 2000 citizens. We didn't have a television—my mother swore that a TV would "rot" our brains. 

This meant my sole form of entertainment (aside from watching blazing sunsets and starry skies) was books. So by the time I'd saved up enough money for a 13-inch TV—at the age of 16—I'd read roughly 2000 books. 

My book-eating tendencies, only continued as I graduated, left home, and began studying acting. And what I learned as a young actor got me even more excited about storytelling. 

I learned a process of unravelling stories from the inside out. Later I applied what I'd learned to my writing. Before, writing had come in fits. I was often blocked or wracked with self-doubt. Worse still, I couldn't seem to finish any project that I started!

But after applying what I'd learned about character motivation and story structure to my own work, I wrote two solo shows and toured them across Canada. Since then I've written hundreds of articles, as well as scripted videos, stories, plays, and screenplays. I've applied my love of storytelling to create story-based micro films and help businesses tell their stories.

Basically, I get paid to tell stories, find stories, and make stories better than before! Where before I couldn't even finish a single story project, now I'm a story pro.
