Lessons from Taylor Swift's Creative Process And How to Build Your Own
A four-part masterclass in finding your voice, your routine, and your motivation
This workshop delves into the art of collecting and organizing your ideas, creating and/or revitalizing your process and creative practice, and discusses using elements of writing and storytelling to build a body of work no matter your genre.
We will review the way Swift has used elements such as theme, intertextuality, and repetition to build a body of work, and how you can apply those and other elements to your own work effectively.
Whether you’re a diehard fan, a skeptic, or even a hater, you will come away with a new perspective on writing and process.
