James Patterson Teaches Writing. In Mr. Patterson’s MasterClass, there are 22 video lessons and exercises. I will be posting about each lesson, once a week, for twenty-two Fridays.
This is from the class page. ~
“James teaches you how to create characters, write dialogue, and keep readers turning the page.”
And this is from the class page:~ “100% EXCLUSIVE CONTENT
For the first time, James Patterson teaches you everything he has learned. Only available through MasterClass.”
We shall see…
I will write about the class, giving you my impressions, and some of my notes.
I had started this class last year and I was unable to finish due to a car accident. My brain was rattled. I was unable to comprehend what I was reading. Instead of giving up and not reading, I became angry and reread paragraphs. I used a blank piece of paper to cover the part of the page I wasn’t reading.
Then, I wrote… I wrote anything that came to mind. Mostly what I wrote didn’t make sense. Still I wrote.
The accident happened while my husband and I were sitting at a red light and discussing where we would stop for an early dinner. We had just left my doctor’s office. I have been seeing this doctor for years; he has treated me for two bouts of cancer. I see him every year; he monitors my blood and thyroid levels, ensuring all my numbers are in line.
The truck that hit us was in the right lane, the driver decided he wanted to get over to the far left, so he could turn on route 83. There were a few things he didn’t take into consideration. The van in front of him, the red light and the speed limit. And the rest of the cars on the road!
He slammed into a van, then pushed the van into the back of our car. The light changed just as all this was taking place. The cars in front and to the right moved forward. Metal screeching and tires squealing as we were thrown forward. Luckily my husband had left enough space between us and the car in front of us, so as we were hit, we were able to avoid engaging a fourth car in the accident.
Back to James Patterson’s MasterClass. Tomorrow I will post the first lesson. See you then…
