Finally, time for your novel: During this week-long break (individual retreat) in the inspiring tranquility of southern Champagne, you will not only create a concept, but also your own personal roadmap—scene by scene—so that you can turn your book project into reality back in your busy everyday life.
We focus on developing a captivating and coherent plot that carries you and the reader from beginning to end. ________________________________________ We structure your project in two phases. The goal is clear: at the end, you will have a detailed scene plan and a strong foundation that will make your writing routine easy.
Phase I: The heart of your story – your characters Exciting plots are created by strong characters. We dive deep to understand your characters and charge them with potential for conflict. This intensive character work forms the indispensable foundation for your novel: First, you define the external and internal dimensions of your main character, understand their deepest desires and conflicts, and then develop all the other key players—from the protagonist to the antagonist and the (very important!) supporting characters—whose interactions drive the story forward. Phase II: Your novel's framework—the master plan
Now we transfer your character work into a viable structure. This framework begins with defining the theme, genre, and central premise of your story. Building on this, you create your detailed scene plan in three intensive modules—a practical, comprehensive roadmap that shows you which scene is next at any given moment in your daily writing routine.
My role as a coach: As your personal coach, I see myself not as a teacher, but as a sparring partner and structure provider. • Your focus: I make sure that you concentrate on only ONE task at a time. This allows us to keep the focus on your story and prevent you from getting lost in details.
• Your compass: I offer you a proven structure and tools to systematically develop your ideas, from character depth to scene planning. • Your sparring partner: I give you feedback on each task you complete and help you identify the blind spots in your concept.
• Your success companion: My goal is to provide you not only with a concept, but also with a practical roadmap that can be realistically integrated into your everyday life, so that you can start writing in a motivated and structured way after your break. • Online editing: If you are interested, our collaboration can be continued online later.
In short: You bring your story, I give you the structure. Together, we will put your book idea on a solid foundation. Feel free to write to me here under "Contact provider" for a non-binding introductory meeting. I look forward to hearing from you!
