Mind-Mapping a Novel with Hank Quense

Plot-Structure-GMC Mind-Mapping a Novel with Hank Quense

I enjoyed this class. Before taking it I did not completely understand mind-mapping, but Hank explained it in a way, it now makes sense and I will use it to plot my next novel. I would have liked to have had lessons/assignments to go along with this course. That way, we could practice what he was teaching while class was in session. I have requested his book on the subject and look forward to diving into this method even more. Definitely a course I recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about mind-mapping.
Re the mind-mapping class. If you know nothing about mind maps, this class might be useful to you. I had hoped to learn about how to use my existing knowledge for writing, so found the documents less useful as I'd already stumbled upon a similar use. I think the documents would be far more helpful if the maps were from a book we might all recognize, rather than his own fantasy novel that is difficult to follow (any unfamiliar novel would be difficult to follow for this application). I got through all the documents in under 20 minutes btw, so for the $25 you might be better off buying his book.
