Before you can truly write the stories you want to tell, you need to know where you come from. Who are your literary influences, what do you enjoy, as far as television and film? And what genres are you writing? You need to be able to answer all of these questions, so that you can fully write in the genres, and ways that connect to your voice, mind, and heart. This is an OnDemand webinar.
