7 days
FREE!
Designed to fit around every day life and a busy schedule wherever you are in the world, we’ll give you techniques and exercises for generating ideas and turning them into usable outlines for brilliant stories.
Great ideas are the bedrock of storytelling and writing.
Sometimes they come thick and fast, and sometimes they seem to languish in the dank cellar of your subconscious and refuse to come out to play.
All those ideas are in there though, hiding in your brain, just waiting for the spark that sets them free.
In this fun and fast-paced seven day course, we’ll work with you through ways to feed your brain, germinate those idea-seeds (seedy ideas?) and keep stories tumbling out of your head.
AKA what we’ll be covering in this course
DAY 1: WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW
That doesn’t mean turning the daily tedium of your commute in to an 800 page experimental novel
DAY 2: AN AUTHOR THOUGHT UP A KILLER TITLE, AND YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Can you retrofit a story idea from a cool title?
DAY 3: IT STARTS WITH A KISS
Big stories can come from the smallest of places
DAY 4: MORE THAN A FEELING
Turning your vague feelings of ennui into a killer story
DAY 5: FEED YOUR BRAIN – ASK IT QUESTIONS
Questions are a writer’s most powerful tool
DAY 6: BIG IDEA/SMALL IDEA
Not every idea will end up as a full plot, but every idea is useful
DAY 7: A VERY TINY NOVEL
Get yersen from a vague idea to a story idea

SUPER SPLENDID IDEA GENERATING JOY! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’d been feeling like I’d lost the ability to generate ideas but this course gave me my confidence back. You’ll get the chance to play around with some really fun exercises and just see what happens! I got at least seven really decent ideas to develop further. It’s great value for money and will really give you a great big creative kick. Five gold stars from me!

Loved it – though ideas I came up with were a bit mad ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Excellent content and some great feedback – even if it all got very silly from me on the writing/ideas front..

Fabulous! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wasn’t sure what to expect from seven days but was surprised by the amount of creativity sparked by the (seemingly) simple ideas. Brilliant course, whether you’re short of ideas or not, because it gets you thinking and looking at things differently. Five well-deserved gold stars from me too ???? Thank you!

Once you’ve joined you’ll get an email confirming your place and explaining everything you need to know.
The lessons are a mix of text, images, videos and exercises. To get the most out of the course, try to give yourself at least 30 minutes a day to read or watch the material and do the exercises. We’ve made them as bite-size as possible but also if you wanna do the thing you gotta do the work.
This course is written to be done over 7 days but the content will sit in your inbox for as long as you like so you can work at your own pace and because life always gets in the way and also because we’re nice.
This course is FREEEEE!
Drink plenty of tea, stock up on biscuits, gin for later. Enjoy it. It’s supposed to be fun. Love you. Mwa.

Just wang your email address in the thingy and we’ll send you all the goodies.
And yes, it’s free, FREEEEE! (But obviously we’re gonna try to sell you stuff in the emails. You can ignore that stuff. We don’t care. We don’t. It’s fine. WE SAID IT’S FINE.)
Yeah no we’re probably not for you then. Our approach isn’t for everyone (your first clue is in our logo). We swear more than is ‘ladylike’ and use gifs when we could use our words. But, eh, fuck it. We don’t believe that linguistic purity or literary snobbery does anyone any favours. If we’re not a match for you, thanks for giving us a go and good luck with your writing – we wish you every success. But if, like us, you’ve never found your rightful place in the writing world and think WHQ could be just the ticket – welcome home, come in, grab a cuppa, we’ve been waiting for you (in a totally non sinister way ofc).
