Each original lesson is available in audio and PDF formats. Also included is a video overview of the course along with a video introduction to Mark’s Writing to Awaken method. All files can be accessed through the website after purchase and downloaded to a phone, tablet, or computer.
Lesson One: The First Step – Beginnings are the often the scariest part of the creative process, stopping writers in their tracks, till they learn to choose a “point of departure.”
Lesson Two: Momentum – Regularity is critical to the writing process and helps you to keep fear at bay. By maintaining structure in your writing life, you empower your muse and generate confidence.
Lesson Three: The Elements of Style – No two writers are identical in temperament, taste, or proclivity. Coming to know your nature as a writer is the surest path to mastery.
Lesson Four: Approach and Avoidance – Discipline is a nemesis for many writers, but what if you can make it your ally, a reliable helper on the path to self-expression?
Lesson Five: Finishing the Hat – Completion is an art unto itself. Until you confront the fear of completion, however, your best ideas are likely to go unrealized.
Lesson Six: What Makes the Engine Go? – Desire is the fuel that empowers writers. When you tap into this vital source, you realize that fear is no match for the desire to write.

“While doing these lessons, memories and insights percolated to the surface, inviting me to consider myself and my story in new ways. If fears represent opportunities, then writing about myself is a big opportunity for me! It has a transformative effect. I’m excited to consider where this avenue is going to lead now that I have completed this course.”
