Frequently Asked Questions
-
While there is some theoretical content, which is necessary to give the proper context, the primary focus is on writing production. Writers learn best through practice, so the main feature of my studies are practical prompts and exercises that push you to apply ideas directly to your own work.
-
Each study contains a variety of writing tasks (prompts and/or exercises) aimed at stimulating creative thinking and writing production. You’ll be actively applying concepts to your own writing projects as you go. The primary goal of a prompt is to stimulate your imagination and encourage the generation of new ideas, as they are typically open-ended and allow for a wide range of responses. They do not necessarily have a specific skill or technique focus but aim to get the writer started on a piece of writing. An exercise is a structured activity designed to develop specific writing skills or techniques. They include guidelines or constraints that focus on practicing a particular aspect of writing. The primary goal of an exercise is to improve your abilities in a targeted area, such as character development, dialogue, setting description, or plot structure.
-
While having a project in mind can augment your experience, it’s not necessary. The studies can help you generate new ideas and survey different aspects of writing, whether you have a current project or are looking for inspiration to start something new.
-
Yes! Many of these prompts/exercises are geared toward breaking through creative barriers. Intervisions studies can help you find new ways to enter your work process, overcome blockages, and reignite your creative flow.
-
My studies are primarily designed for prose writing, especially fiction. Because creative nonfiction shares many of the same elements as fiction—such as characterization, narrative structure, atmosphere, and setting—writers of nonfiction could also find the material valuable. Additionally, writers of other forms like drama, screenwriting, or poetry may benefit from our material, granted they’re willing to adapt the information to their particular format. The core concepts are flexible enough to be applied across different styles with some creative adjustment.
-
While I don’t guarantee specific outcomes, my goal is for you to walk away with new ideations, deeper insight into your writing process, and a sense of creative accomplishment. Many writers find that working through these exercises lead to breakthroughs in both creativity and skill.
-
Once your purchase is complete, the studies are available for immediate download in PDF format. You can access the material instantly and start working at your own pace.
-
The studies are written with writers who already have a good grasp on key concepts in mind. They are not designed for an aspiring writer who is starting at zero (who is unfamiliar with the foundations of storytelling). However, if, knowing this, a beginner wants to use our material to develop their craft, I welcome the endeavor.
-
You can absolutely reuse the studies! The exercises are flexible and adaptable, so you can revisit them with new projects or when you want to focus on different aspects of your craft. Many writers find value in returning to the same prompts multiple times.
-
