Module 3: Transforming Obstacles Such as Procrastination, Resistance, and Other Energy-Draining Patterns

The main challenge for writers often isn’t the actual skill of writing–it’s learning how to deal with the resistance that always rises whenever we go to express our full potential in the world.

There are several tools, tips and tricks that can make a writer’s life much easier, as well as more successful. Unfortunately, as Gay says, “I didn’t know any of them when I started out. Most of them I had to learn the ‘hard way.’ These are the tips, tricks and tools I wish I’d had 30 years ago, and it’s my hope that sharing them will save you a lot of unnecessary ‘hard way’ learning.” Some of Gay’s tools are practical, others more metaphysical in nature.

Skilled writers often instinctively follow a pattern of writing that works with both the left and right hemisphere of our brains – and engages the all-important limbic system. When you learn to make these this skill conscious and apply it to your work, your writing suddenly becomes far more impactful because it harnesses the natural brain patterns of your readers in a way that “hooks” them in.

Writing your book requires a special set of skills and one of the foremost among them is the art of storytelling.

Why most movie have a 3-act structure and how to harness this in your own approach to stories
How memoir writers create the compelling voice that hooks the reader into use the story. For example, is your voice that of a Discoverer, a Reluctant Hero, a Wounded Healer or some new voice we haven’t heard before?
