I was a panster – I admit it. I still do if the new idea just keeps flowing
out of me and I don’t wish to hinder what the new character ‘friends’ have to
say. But it does take me a longer time to get that whole story out. Too long.
I have so many things to finish and so many new ideas to
express.
![]() |
Who shall I be today? |
Just like serendipity, along came these constant ads for an
online writing class. The Master Class
series with James Patterson as the teacher.
There are other extremely professional and famous teachers in other
crafts, but this one on writing pertained to me.
This course fee was not in my budget but the relentless
calling persisted. Still, I threw it out there to my social media friends to
see how they would approach this and all were in favor – “Janice – take it!” Okay, the universe screamed – TAKE IT! So I skipped joining a fancy gym that has
indoor pools for a slimmer figure and better swim skills, and signed up. Let’s go, James – WHAT are you trying to tell
me?
![]() |
Taking on the literary world - one story at a time. |
I get conflicting stories about James Patterson. He seems to have a -like him or hate him’
type of popularity. Given that he’s the #1 top selling NY Times best-selling
author (76 best-selling novels) in the WORLD (Guinness book listed and sales),
he surely knows his business. I suspect
that some of that dislike comes from jealousy from other authors. Also, he writes with co-authors, with wide-spread
rumors that the co-author does all the work and James just polishes it up and
puts his name on it and sells it.
Yet, his books sell like gourmet cupcakes! I too enjoy his
stories for a quick exciting read when that mood strikes me. They are fast moving and I always like how a
reader knows who the criminals are early on. I couldn’t wait for the loser to
get caught. Even if the reader prefers
other genres, James still had a fast paced style that played out like movies.
What did James had to say about all this? He shared plenty through video interviews and
workbook online at-your-own-pace practice lessons.
For a quarter of the cost of most community college classes
(and I’ve taken a couple in the past), I have life-time access to the class,
his input, his lessons, homework, surprising secrets, online questions and
answers (skype type videoing conferencing), workbooks, online homework, never-shared-before
outline of a successful novel he co-wrote, interviews with two of his
co-authors (who defied all the nasty rumors!), and over all constant motivation
and encouragement from the master writer himself. Plus - new friends on his media clubs, online
sharing class notes with each lesson.
It was the best class on writing - EVER!
![]() |
Not just one light bulb came on! |
James totes heavily on the importance of outlining the whole
novel, even devoted two whole lessons (out of 22) to this topic alone early in
the series. This is no new thing to me, something I previously felt strongly
against because outlining stifled my creativity and I stubbornly refused to do
it. Although, my pantser ways take me
too long to finish things!
I listened up. James
explained it in a very different way than I ever heard it. Yes, outline, but make it a list of ‘scenes’,
and you can always change them if it’s not working in the novel. He said ‘just get the story on the paper
first, don’t worry about sentence structure now’.
That was a revelation to me! I write by scenes anyway so
this blew all apprehensions I had about outlining out of that little stubborn
corner of my brain. Gone was the image
of the old school outline with roman numerals that were as exciting as soggy
oatmeal on a hot day in July.
![]() |
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz.........borrrinnggggg |
Dialogue, plot, complex characterizing, researching, and writing
good short hook were all heavily emphasized as well, a nice marriage to the
outline.
ALWAYS KEEP MOVING, he kept pointing out through the lessons.
I actively obeyed and went to work this last month.
![]() |
THAT's why we drink obscene amounts of caffeine...... to keep writing! |
I won’t give away any more big spoilers ( there were quite a
few other secrets that he divulged with his class and for which I am eternally
grateful)! But I will tell you that if
you struggle with some big issues in getting that novel finished, THIS is the
class and motivation that you need! (sign-up is still available through July).
I enjoyed his down to earth humor and no
bulls*** advice about success; the real deal on the writing life, publishing and
marketing; why he agreed to teach this class; some very personal details about
his life; and how he started writing. In closing, James wrapped up the class very
nicely with one of the sweetest encouraging stories I ever heard given to new
writers from someone so successful.
The Master Class also comes with a contest opportunity (with
the deadline just before this blog was posted, sorry!) Cash prizes are being rewarded to 10
talented but less known semi-finalists and 3 finalist writers for their unpublished
entries: a 2 sentence hook, a summary of the novel, and a sample chapter. Out of those finalists, James will chose one
student to become his next co-author!
That’s a lot of exposure for a new writer and this is quite
the opportunity of a lifetime! Who
wouldn’t want to give it a shot?
Now the wait begins because yes – I did put in my entry for
this contest. I will not have to wait
long. Even if I don’t win this contest,
the time and money for this class were well worth it from early in the series,
his enriching advice continued on better and more eye-opening as it went along. I can only improve my own writing through what
I learned.
![]() |
Lets practice a song while we wait. |
That is a win-win already! He did make me a believer in
making novel writing easier, quicker, and to have more confidence in my own
story telling!

The sky is not even the limit here in the heart. |
Color me....intrigued!
