Join us for a dive deep into the deeply human elements of story. This series is for those that struggle with traditional approaches to creative writing.  It is for those that prefer to let their stories "tell themselves."  It is for those who want to explore new forms and structures.  It is for the artist. The joyful inner child. The writer who writes from the heart. 

This class is for you who ask…
…how do I craft characters my audience will fall in love with?
…how do I find the emotional heart of my story?
…how do I know my story will be interesting to others?

This class is for you who want…
…to be inspired by the depth of a compelling character.
…to write stories with genuine emotion and a deep connection to the audience.
…to allow your characters to write the story.

Be empowered to approach the blank page with confidence— and wild anticipation! 


Writing without an Outline is part of a year-long journey through the heart of story.  The full experience will leave you forever changed in how you see, approach, and allow your narrative to open in front of you. 

Each section of the series stands alone and can be taken individually, or you may opt to bundle classes and/or weekend intensives.

Let 2025 be the year you set your wild muse free!

Neurodivergent minds are highly encouraged.

“I learned so much in Lyon’s writing classes. Lyon is both passionate and knowledgeable about the art of story. He speaks with confidence about both the art and the craft of writing and always keeps the learning process fun. I now have much deeper awareness of how to write a memorable story that connects with people.“ -Devin S.
