To people who want to write but can't get started:

"Imagine Discovering
The Magic Secret To Writing?"

There are a million reasons why you're not writing. None of them matter!

Have you been led to believe that...

• ... only special people can write?
  
  
• ... it takes years to learn to write well?
  
  
• ... a blank screen is cause for frustration?
  
  
• ... writing is hard?
  

We'll get straight to the point - what you've heard is just wrong!

Pay Close Attention!

People make writing much too complicated. As you read this page, you will learn how simple writing really is.

Re: You Can Write a Short Story

From the eDesk of Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini

Dear Creative Writer,

Before we go on, let us tell you a story. We have a friend named Valerie...

She recently started writing rich, beautiful poetry, but the thought of writing a short story scared her to death. She came to us almost in tears because she had a story she really, really wanted to write, but didn't think she could.

Valerie Was Stuck!

She didn't even know where to begin. She had no idea how to create a character who seemed real or how to structure the tale. She felt that the story in her head had to be told and was completely frustrated about telling it.

Are you like Valerie?

• Does the whole process of writing completely baffle you?
  
  
• Is creating living, breathing characters a complete mystery?
  
  
• Do you have too many ideas to choose from OR no ideas at all?
  
  
• Are you confused about how to even get started?

Is this you?

We'll get back to Valerie in a moment, we promise,
but first, let us introduce ourselves...

We are Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini. Geoff has been writing short stories and poetry for as long as he can remember. (Granted, his memory isn't what it used to be, but still, that's a long time.) Steve wrote his first novel about fifteen years ago.

We met over eleven years ago while working on an award-winning stage show called Tony Mack's Swingin' LA that played in world famous Micele's Restaurant just off Hollywood Boulevard for a couple of years. We've been writing together ever since.

Together, we wrote a best-selling satirical novel called Weeping Willow and won a Webby Award for our work on the web series Poor Paul, which is just about to go into its third season. We also still write short stories. Lots of short stories. We write a popular blog on the process of writing that has inspired many, many people to finally get going with their dreams.

Over the years, as we honed our writing process, people began asking us how we wrote, how we came up with the silly, outrageous things we put out. It seemed magical and intuitive, even to us. We decided to see exactly what that process was and were thrilled when we realized that ...

And most importantly...

We Can Teach It to You!

First, we wrote it in book form and people seemed to really like it. Several people told us they wrote their first short story after reading that book. We were moved to tears. (Well, Geoff was. Steve just misted up a little. He's from the Midwest.)

Then we held a six-week live on-line class and the response was amazing.

During the course, Barb told us she felt like she "found the magic secret to writing"!

"I am going to credit Geoff & Steve's writing class forever for giving me the tools to FINALLY start writing something and to actually FINISH it! Before I took the class I was spinning my wheels, and after the class I had a completed, finished story - simple as that. I have applied what I have learned and am in the middle of my next story already! I highly recommend this class if you have the desire to write but you really don't know where to start." - Barb Roehler Minnesota, USA

Charlotte was a published novelist who experienced problems in the past with her short stories. She told us what we taught her gave her a new way to approach all her writing. She also sold the short story she wrote for the class!

The shocking truth about writing...

It's Easy!

Another student, Pam, who is a business woman, never considered that she could write fiction. She wrote a wonderful, wrenching story about what she called "Elusive Motherhood." She also said...

... What we taught her has
really enhanced her business writing.

When you open up your creative writing, you open up all of your writing!

Here's what she told us when we asked how she liked the class:

This testimonial is proof that learning creative writing enhances all of your writing!

Are You Letting Any of These Five Excuses Stop You From Writing?

1. "I'm not inspired yet... " - You can be inspired any time you want. We'll show you how.
   
   
2. "I have writer's block... " - Writer's block? Kill it forever!
   
   
3. "I don't think I've suffered enough... " - Poppycock! You don't need to suffer to write, you just need to write.
   
   
4. "I don't think I'm talented enough... " - Anyone can write. We've proved it. Let us prove it to you.
   
   
5. "I don't even know how to get started!" - In this course, you learn simple but powerful exercises to get you started and keep you going

You are starting to see how none of these things need to be true for you.

Picture yourself in six weeks having a short story finished!

We'll show you just how to do it.

Wouldn't it be amazing if you could...

• Feel the magic of seeing your characters fully come to life?
  
  
• Watch as words spill effortlessly onto the page?
  
  
• Enrich others' lives with your words?
  
  
• And have fun doing it?

You see, we've turned that six-week hands on class into a self-study course so YOU can experience these benefits.

Little by little as you go through the lessons of this course, you become free of the things that have stopped you from writing.

In this eCourse, "You Can Write a Short Story" we'll take you by the hand from the confusion of getting started all the way to having the first draft of an actual short story.

Want more proof?

We promised to get back to Valerie. Remember her? She wanted to write but was completely frustrated.

After taking our course Valerie wrote her first short story!

She was so excited that she called us as soon as she'd finished. She told us it had actually been easy. We cried. Well, Geoff did. You know, supermarket openings. Steve just smiled knowingly. He can be annoying that way. Anyway, Valerie is on her way, now. We feel like proud parents. Here's what she had to say in her own words:

Clearly, this is a powerful course.

When you take this course you will learn:

Week One: Choosing Your Idea - In the first week, we give you a solid foundation of simple techniques to open your own creativity and start flexing the creative writing muscles. We also lead you through powerful techniques for what to do if you have so many ideas you've overwhelmed yourself OR if you don't have any ideas at all. Week Two: Story Structure - Any story you tell or hear is structured in the same basic way. We lead you through this structure and guide you through a simple process to build your beginning, middle and end, then how to imagine yourself through the thrust of the story to make it very real for yourself and your readers. You'll also look at what a story theme is and we will look at several classic stories to see how the writers were able to powerfully pull you in. Week Three: Settings - The setting of a story is vital and when you know some simple processes to make the settings more alive for yourself, you can communicate it to your reader with only a few words that will pull them right in. In this session, we will also explore using your senses to bring the setting to life in a rich and powerful way. Week Four: Characters - Whether a character is real or comes from your imagination, you will discover the basics of bringing that person to life in the eyes of both yourself and your readers. You will examine the three main things to know about your characters, who they are, what they want and their names. Unlocking all of that can be a lot of fun! Week Five: Your First Draft - Once you've gotten to this point, you will be amazed at how your story seems to simply write itself. We show you how to get your conscious mind out of the way and simply let it happen. Week Six: Conclusions and Responses - Many people say "writing is rewriting". In this session you will learn exactly how to approach your re-writing. You will also see how to approach the rest of your life as a creative writer, and how to capitalize on these new-found skills.
