The Love Story

Everyone loves a love story. But this apparently simple tale may be the most difficult form to write well. Love is the only genre where you need not one, but two equally well-defined main characters. And it has a plot where surprise must come out of intimacy. And it has a story that should naturally take ten minutes. Boy and girl meet, they feel a spark, the rest is negotiation. But you have to fill two hours and you have to make the audience not only see the love but feel it, want it, demand that it happen. If that isn't hard enough, your characters must want it, but not want it as well. It's not easy.

If you believe love is the most important thing in life, if you believe that learning to love is how we live a good life, then you should write this form. But make it real love. Show how it can deepen. Show how it can last. A good love story shows the audience what love could mean in their lives.

This 6-hour LOVE STORY COURSE begins by talking about love itself and how most love stories are not love stories at all. Then it explains in detail how the subtle choreography of a true love story works, from the essential story beats to love's sub-genres, from love scenes and dialogue to how to write an enduring love story. If love is your message, this course will show you how to send it in the most appealing way possible.
