Strategic Plan: Introduction
I mentioned a little bit before, there's nothing that makes me crazier than writers who have so much enthusiasm for their story and they start doing all this work and they start envisioning their tale, and they get all into it, and then they stop. And we all know that that happens. There's so many reasons why that happens. Life gets busy, we get full of doubt, whatever the thing is. And I don't want that to happen. I want you guys to take this information and actually finish. So I have some ideas that I use in my coaching and in my business to help people through these things that are proven to work, and I wanna share them with you.

This is the first class I purchased on CL. I listened in on the Live Streaming day, taking notes furiously while feeling sooo blessed to finally have found such an outstanding industry expert who knew -- really knew -- what writers problem areas and blindspots were. Furthermore, Jennie is a GREAT teacher who doesn't just tell her listeners how to do things smarter but takes us by the hand and leads us through smart exercises or great stretches of well laid out logic that is deeply illuminating on how to do our job, LOADS better! And that, in the 1st draft instead of the 5th or 10th (if we're still tenacious enough to be hanging in by then.) I purchased it because streaming quality was poor (not sure why, I have top rate streaming package; made me think it could be a CL purposeful thing) and the course content too great to not own. I've started relistening, and will do so as many times as I need to in order to receive full benefit from Jennie's obvious expertise and great instruction. For ANYONE starting out in the world of novel or memoir writing, I DEEPLY RECOMMEND you get this course along with Lisa Cron's Story Writing one. With the 2 of them you will have done yourself the biggest favor EVER on the learning curve of the art -- and the science -- of writing the best book you're capable of.

Loved watching Jennie give this class. She brings great clarity to the writing process that for so long for me, has been so daunting. I can't wait to learn more from Jennie who's passion for writing is incredible, but also her heartfelt compassion for us writers is nothing I have ever seen. Thank you Jennie. ~Denise

This compilation of lessons could be called "The Best of Jennie Nash!" It's that good! Jennie provides great insights, practical tools, and advice for any writer. I liked it so much that I bought the class for my wife to help her get started on her writing journey. I know she's going to like it!
