CHASE SCENES: 5 Steps to a Pulse-Pounding Pursuit with Andrea J. Johnson

Pacing-Tension CHASE SCENES: 5 Steps to a Pulse-Pounding Pursuit with Andrea J. Johnson

This class was excellent and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about mystery writing. Thank you.
I found the class very helpful. The lessons were in an order that made sense, practical and the feedback given was excellent. I would recommend this class, and for me, a solo practitioner, a welcome sense of not being alone on the journey.
Love how she got down to the nuts and bolts of chase, so I could flesh mine out.
Another excellent class. All encompassing regarding plot aspects of a novel and elements needed with chase scenes.
I was hoping the course would cover the deeper emotional aspects of character development, and Andrea didn't disappoint. The various pointers were useful, including how to be inventive and ways of introducing a twist. Thank you!
Wonderful knowledge presented in a way that easy to learn. The technique of using unreliable narrators is interesting and gave me a new tool in my writer's toolbox to use. Thank you!
Very useful workshop. Now I understand POV unreliable narrators better.
This is an important subject and I'm glad I attended. Thank you,
I truly enjoyed this class. Unfortunately, I took it along with several others and did not have time to fully implement the knowledge I gleaned. I'll revisit the class later. Thank you.
Super informative and Andrea was super engaged which made the discussion lively and informative as well. I appreciate how much detail and the examples Andrea used to illustrate her points. Her responses were equally thought out and illustrative. I would definitely recommend this class.
A ton of information and lots of examples made for an interesting and engaging class. Andrea finds common ground with presenting and with her advice so I got a lot from this class. I highly recommend her class.
I'd hear of unreliable narrators but never dug into how they work. Andrea showed us not only what they are and the types there are, but how they can be used. Another tool for the toolbox!
Awesome class. Lots of helpful tips and encouragement. Andrea is a very supportive and knowledgeable instructor; someone to definitely have in your corner.
Andrea is a wonderful teacher. She has deep knowledge that she shares freely and with a quick turnaround. On top of the course material she offered individual support and I went from complete ignorance about author taglines to creating one in three days. I highly recommend her courses! Thank you very much, Andrea. It was an absolute pleasure.
Andrea inspired me to look at what I write for the author tag line. I dug into my brain and came up with an idea that wasn't bad and Andrea's suggestion of refining the sentences made it better.
Before the first lesson, I thought it was impossible. I am pleased with the result after the third lesson. Huge thanks Andrea.
Short & Sweet - quite crammed with useful information, a real time saver
loved every day AND the exercises :)
