  2. Chizorum –

    I was struggling with structure until I took this course. Finally, something that explains dramatic arc without feeling formulaic. The character development exercises alone were worth the price; I’ve got a protagonist I actually care about now. My play’s moving from ‘idea’ to ‘actual draft’ thanks to this.

  3. Amaechi –

    Okay, I finally understand why my dialogue felt so clunky! This course unlocked a whole new dimension of character voice. The structure exercises especially helped me see how to build real tension, and now my second act actually works . Definitely worth the time investment.
