Is the actual workshop happening still or is it in the past? Can we have link and info to it if still happening?
I just received it 18August'20. I am sure you can find more information about it if you visit the site.

I myself have not tried the course so I cannot speak neither positively nor negatively about it. I simply received the email and thought I would share it with theGODS.
I went and looked for it in the site but couldnt find it, will try again.
Here's another one:Hey there!
Real quick: I have a gift for you.
Ever wondered what makes a good story truly great? More importantly, ever wondered how to make your story great?
I’ll give you the secret: great stories are built on strong story structure, combined with innovative ideas to write stories that are fresh and new.
Or, to put it another way: master story structure, and you can write bestselling books.
So what is this story structure magic? How are stories really structured, and how can you figure out the right structure for your story?
I’ve spent years studying the best storytelling teachers, like Gustav Freytag, Joseph Campbell, Robert McKee, and Shawn Coyne.
And in their work, I’ve found a set of simple principles you can use right now to plan out your next story (or the one you’re already writing!).
All the great storytelling teachers agree: there are a few essential elements you need in order to structure a great story.
And I’ve created a simple worksheet that will walk you through each element of story structure for your story.
And it’s completely free! Click here to download the worksheet.
Of course, to write a great story, first you need a great story idea. This week, I’ll send you my free training on how to find your best idea.
Get a head start on structuring your best story today by downloading the worksheet. And keep your eye out next week for a great idea!

Happy writing!

I've always used the advice and free courses from Write Practice, they're great. They help a lot with short stories.
Just got the email: Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a "magic bullet" of storytelling?
You know what I mean. One big secret, the missing key that makes all your stories thrilling and your writing process a breeze.
Sad news: there’s not a magic bullet. But you probably knew that already.
That said, there are some fundamental storytelling truths that great writers have known for hundreds of years. And these truths, when you master them, have the power to transform your writing.
I know, because they transformed mine.
I’ve spent the last decade studying storytelling principles: the rise and fall of stories, what makes the perfect climax, how to set that up from the start and resolve it at the end. That study has helped me go from a struggling writer who couldn’t finish one book to the WSJ-bestselling author and ghostwriter of thirteen books.
And this week, I want to share what I’ve learned.
Starting tomorrow, I’m hosting a free, LIVE training on the story structure principles bestselling writers rely upon—and how you can apply them to your writing right away.
Will you join me this week? It’s completely free, and you can pick the time that works best for you:
Tuesday, August 25 at 2 pm Eastern »
Wednesday, August 26 at 2 pm Eastern »
Thursday, August 27 at 8:30 pm Eastern »
Friday, August 28 at 2 pm Eastern »
Saturday, August 29 at 2 pm Eastern »
Whether you’re dreaming up a new book idea or halfway through your second draft, you’ll learn clear, actionable story truths that will help you write your best book.
And of course, the joy of a virtual training like this is the live Q&A at the end, where I’ll answer your storytelling questions.
This is one of my favorite writing topics (and arguably the one that’s had the most impact on my own writing), and I can’t wait to share it with you.
See you there,
Joe

Instagram and tumbler, the low hanging fruit of inspiration for me. LOL. And of course other books I might cherry pick one idea, mesh it with other ideas, and see how it goes. :)
I thought I would share it with you:
Hey there!
"Where do you get your story ideas?"
That’s a question authors I know are asked all the time. And it makes sense: when someone writes a book that’s so fresh, so new, so imaginative, so exciting, we wonder, how did they do that?! How did they come up with such a brilliant book?
And then, if you’re like me, you wonder, how can I do that too?!
It starts, of course, with an amazing idea. Actually, you probably already have an idea, one that might just land you among the bestsellers. Most writers I know have too many ideas, not too few!
You just need to know what to do with your idea, how to turn it into an incredible book.
What if there were a way to know that your idea is amazing and will produce a bestseller-quality book? What if there were a way to take your idea and use it to make your novel writing so much easier?
The good news is, there is! There’s a simple process for developing and testing your idea. Personally, I use this process every time I start a new book to turn a vague idea into a powerful tool to guide the writing process.
This week, I’m teaching a free three-part course on that exact process: how to turn your idea into a publishable premise. Find out if your book idea works (and how to fix it if it doesn’t!).

I believe you do have what it takes to write a book that makes your readers wonder, how did they do that?! And this course will help you get there.
Happy writing,
Joe
P.S. You love writing. You might even consider it your calling, part of your life’s important work. But you have other important pieces of your life, too—your family, the meaningful relationships around you. Is it possible to "balance" both your work as a writer and the relationships you love?
My friends André and Jeff Shinabarger have spent the last several years exploring that question, interviewing hundreds of couples about how they navigate their love and their work. And today, their new book, Love or Work, is published!
