In the self-paced Beat2Board course, you’ll discover a story-breaking strategy to go beyond the beat sheet and develop the scene cards that will become the backbone of your screenplay or novel.
You’ll achieve a working understanding of Save the Cat! and an inside look at how professional writers break story, giving each scene meaning by serving a well-paced plot on a writer’s board.
The board is a way for you to “see” your story before you start writing. It is a means to easily test different scenes, story arcs, ideas, bits of dialogue, and story rhythms to work out the kinks of your story.
Once you’ve wrestled your board into shape, you can dive into writing your screenplay or novel with the confidence that your story works.
