I don&#8217;t need any more information. I know this is right for me!&#8221;<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">I\u2019ve seen thousands of writers \u2013 intelligent, committed, hard working \u2013 and they can\u2019t get their work made or published no matter how hard or how long they try. After years of banging their heads against the wall, after years of \u201cNO\u201d, or worse no response at all, they give up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">It\u2019s just too painful<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Sound familiar?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">But what really makes me mad \u2013 and those of you who have taken my classes have heard me rant about this for years \u2013 is that writers invariably think it\u2019s their fault. \u201cI did everything \u2018they\u2019 told me to do. I guess I just don\u2019t have the talent.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">I\u2019m sorry, but that\u2019s just wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Enough is enough. For 99% of the writers I meet, and I bet I know more writers than anyone else in the world, the problem isn\u2019t a lack of talent. Or commitment. Or willingness to put in the hard work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">The problem is they\u2019re not using a <strong>campaign<\/strong> of training and production that is designed, from the beginning and every step of the way, to lead inexorably to professional success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Understanding this is the first step to that goal of professional success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">So how do you achieve professional success?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">What you <strong>don\u2019t<\/strong> do is what you\u2019ve probably done in the past. You work hard. You work in isolation. You hope that you\u2019re smart enough to beat the odds that are stacked against you. You try to figure out how you can be that one person who reaches the top of the pile, at which point you enter the promised land of fame and fortune as one of the few jackpot winners in the worldwide entertainment industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">This is the old paradigm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">And it does not work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Because you\u2019re playing their game, and they will <strong>always<\/strong> win their game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">No, you have to create a new game, your game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">A game where you are <strong>guaranteed<\/strong> to win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Because success is not based on beating thousands of other people in a life and death battle for scarce resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Success is based on creating resources, creating value, <strong>creating your story brand and voice<\/strong> that no one else in the world can do but you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">This paradigm always works, and it works for every writer who uses it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">And that, my fellow writers, is what the <strong>Truby Story Program<\/strong> is all about:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\"><em>a campaign of training and production designed to lead inexorably to <strong>your<\/strong> professional success.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Here\u2019s how it works:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">It\u2019s a monthly 90-minute online video group training session that I will lead.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Each session will cover a <strong>key story element <\/strong>you must master in order to write a great story, in any medium, whether screenplay, teleplay, novel, webisode, short film, short story, or video game.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">I will occasionally ask workshop members to send me some element of their story before the session.
