My writer friends were always asking me to give them notes on their novels and screenplays, and I became quite adept at not only identifying what wasn’t working, but also guiding them to clarify what the story was about, and then offering solutions that helped them stay true to their original impulse. In fact, I got so busy offering notes that I decided to start a regular weekly workshop that taught a process no one else seemed to be teaching.</p> 525<p>While Iâd read many books on writing and attended every story seminar I could find, Iâd never found a workshop that guided me through the process of creating a story that didnât feel sort of like math. I opened a writing workshop company called L.A. Writersâ Lab in 2002 to teach the process of marrying the wildness of your imagination to the rigor of structure.</p> </div> 526 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4acc0c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="4acc0c8" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> 527 <p>The workshop began in my dining room with five of my friends, and soon grew to a small theater on Melrose Avenue.

In my experience, there are two types of writing workshops. Thereâs the <em>free-writing</em> workshop that often leads to telling insights, but rarely leaves you with a compelling narrative. Or, thereâs the standard Hollywood screenwriting workshop where story structure is taught by a âstory analystâ as some kind of formula, but fails to offer a process to unlock its magic. No true writer wants to feel like they are writing a story that has been told countless times before.</p> </div> 530 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-52ddd79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="52ddd79" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> 531 <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">your story is valid 532</h2> </div> 533 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-145df55 elementor-drop-cap-yes elementor-drop-cap-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="145df55" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-settings="{"drop_cap":"yes"}" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> 534 <p><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-14356 alignright" src="https://alanwatt.com/staging/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-300x225.jpg 300w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-768x576.jpg 768w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-800x600.jpg 800w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-550x413.jpg 550w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-350x263.jpg 350w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-260x195.jpg 260w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2253-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100v
534w, 300px" />The 90-Day workshops are not about <em>figuring out</em> your story, but connecting an ineffable impulse to a framework that makes your personal experience universal. We call it <em>the lab</em> because this is a space of experimentation – a space where you cannot fail. Everything you write either belongs or is leading you to what ultimately belongs in your story. The lab celebrates your joy, curiosity, and uniqueness â this a space where we welcome diversity, where all stories are supported and encouraged, where joy and grief are honored in equal measure, and where we are always staying open to the possibility for magic. </p> 535<p>Our goal as storytellers is to make the <em>whole greater than the sum of its parts</em>. As writers, we’ve all had the ecstatic experience of stepping back from our work and wondering, <em>“Where did that come from?!”</em></p> </div> 536 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4e1f9fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="4e1f9fe" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> 537 <p>We understand that we are not the author, but a co-creator, a channel for the story that passes through us as we learn a process of marrying this “wild mind” to the rigor of structure.</p> </div> 538 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4bc2f3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="4bc2f3c" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> 539 <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">process, not result 540</h2> </div> 541 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-34766b2 elementor-drop-cap-yes elementor-drop-cap-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="34766b2" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-settings="{"drop_cap":"yes"}" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> 542 <p>Writers frequently ask me how it is that these workshops have spawned so many published authors and working filmmakers. The answer is simple: Process, not result. Your subconscious is the seat of your genius, and while we certainly must employ the fundamentals of craft, until we are connected to the source of our expression, craft is nothing more than an intellectual concept.</p> </div> 543 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-a780d08 elementor-drop-cap-yes elementor-drop-cap-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="a780d08" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-settings="{"drop_cap":"yes"}" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> 544 <p>There is no hierarchy here.

We live in a result-driven society, and while it may seem counter-intuitive and heretical to our result-driven culture, it is only in being kind to ourselves that we can grow and produce a sustained creative output. It is only through a gentle approach that we will develop the patience of habit and ritual to withstand the daily trials of life. The desire to write is really the desire to evolve, to resolve something we seek to understand. Your creative work is simply a byproduct of your spiritual growth, and your sole purpose is to create a body of work.</p> </div> 547 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-9ed1d7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="9ed1d7d" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> 548 <div id="attachment_13524" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13524" class="wp-image-13524 size-medium" src="https://alanwatt.com/staging/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-300x225.jpg" alt="Breckenridge" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-300x225.jpg 300w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-768x576.jpg 768w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-800x600.jpg 800w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-550x413.jpg 550w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-350x263.jpg 350w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-260x195.jpg 260w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge-600x450.jpg 600w, https://alanwatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Breckenridge.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100v
