One key to writing productively and doing a thorough job is understanding the tasks of writing. If you only see big activities, like exploration, drafting, revision, and polishing, it’s hard to plan the day’s work. Each requires many different skills, approaches and time commitments. That’s one reason finding “revision” on your to-do list can be so overwhelming. Where to start?

By breaking the work down to specific steps (like analyzing story logic, tightening prose, and sweetening the humor), you can assign yourself tasks to make each writing session rewarding.

This course will help you divide huge writing jobs into bite-sized pieces, with guidelines on how you can order them to match the way you write.

Through exercises, checklists, and approaches to integrate task-based planning into your writing, you’ll be able to create your own map to finishing a manuscript. With over 50 different tasks listed, ordered, and defined, you’ll never sit down with a vague idea of what the day’s work is.

I am no stranger to "be a more efficient writer" classes. Those classes taught me how to track word counts, write in micro-bursts and use spreadsheets to track my productivity. THIS class is totally different. It's sort of like going into a giant home improvement store, but this one is stocked with writing tools and strategies for every stage of the writing process. Peter is your guide, explaining what each tool does, but it's up to you to choose which new tools & tips are right for you. I especially appreciated the attention spent on deeply examining which writing projects you take on and why. Sometimes being a more efficient (and joyful) writer means being choosier about which projects you take on. A wonderful class for writers in any genre!
Structure, encouragement, kindness in addition to many practical, day-to-day tasks and habits to get writers writing and keeping you going to the end of the project. A course I will keep dipping in to because of the wide variety of ways offered to approach writing. Not my first course with Andrew Peters and definitely not my last. One of the best!
This is an amazingly well-structured, in-depth class.
Peter Andrews' empathetic and patient approach to his students' strengths and weaknesses will help every author, no matter his or her organizational level and skills.
I learned a lot about my writing needs, about how to organize them best and how to become a more effective author.
This is a "rich" class, so it might take a while to incorporate all the tips and tricks you've learned - the best thing: you're absolutely encouraged to take your time and adjust to your new insights step by step.

Plus: I enjoyed every single link Peter provided either in his class texts or his comments - they've been a tremendous help especially the article by Jeff Kitchen
