ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Imagine sitting in a theatre after seeing a terrible film. As the end credits roll, the director and writer rush on stage to defend their work over the crowd's booing--"But we read all the books, taken all the seminars... We followed all the rules and principles of the hero's journey... We structured it well, had all the plot points at the right timing... We even had the hero save a cat, for crying out loud! What's wrong with you?!" Silly, right?

But this is the mentality of most aspiring writers who ignore the one unshakable truth of storytelling: "It's not about what happens to people on a page; it's about what happens to a reader in his heart and mind." In other words, it's all about engaging the reader emotionally. That's what craft is all about.

A story is a dance of reader emotions. The more felt, the more satisfying the story. And it's your job as a writer to know not only what these emotions are but how to create them on the page on a consistent basis. Otherwise, the reader is bored and frustrated instead of entertained, and that's it. Game over.

Join award-winning UCLA instructor Karl Iglesias as he explores the psychology of the reader, and demystifies once and for all what it means to tell a story well. Going beyond the basics, he'll show you how to seduce your readers, force them to turn the pages to see what happens next, interest them so intensely that they are "taken out of themselves" into the world you've created. The ideal is to make them forget they're actually reading words on a page. You'll be challenged to view your script not as a 110-page blueprint for a film or TV show, but as the promise of an intense and satisfying emotional experience.

After all, "screen" writing is easy: You just write 110 pages in proper script format with slug lines, description, and dialogue. But writing to keep readers interested and moving them emotionally is another challenge. It's not about plot points; it's not about character; it's about EMOTION!

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How story emotions are universal, not genre-specific
  • How to avoid being boring on the page
  • How to get attention on the page and keep the reader's eyes glued to the page
  • How to build an emotion-based outline
  • The five needs of the reader that must be satisfied in a story
  • The three types of reader emotions
  • The crucial difference between character emotions and reader emotions
  • Why stories are emotion machines

First ball was great!
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
This ball was great! My dog loves it. I ordered another smaller one. It had no pump and the inside was separated from the outside piece so it couldn’t be pumped up.

Fun and durable
Color: Flag, Size: 6 Inch, Color: Flag, Size: 6 Inch
I have a 5 month old teething Whippet puppy and this toy is a favorite. She loves carrying it around by the straps, playing tug, and trying to chew it. I think it’s pretty tough and durable for someone her size. I could see how a shepherd might destroy it quickly, though. I was surprised to find you have to inflate it, but the pump and needles are included and it hasn’t lost any air over several days of rough play. (I kick it and toss it to her. We tug with the straps. She carries it everywhere.) The material feels like a heavy duty soccer ball, just smaller. It’s the perfect size for her. I’d definitely buy it again.

It's a (smaller) soccer ball with nylon straps. Will no last long for aggressive chewers.
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
As the item title states, it's a soccer ball with straps. It feels like a soccer ball, but smaller and doesn't make any noises. The 8 inch size just right for my 50 lb dog. He can't get his mouth around the ball, but can bite down on the straps as we kick it around. He also plays and tosses it around by himself. It's also easy to clean. It's a good item, but suffers from two issues. 01) The nylon straps are tough, but not as durable as I though. My dog is aggressive chewer and has managed to chew them up a bit. 02) There is a nylon strap that is longer than all the others, so he tends to focus on that one. After about 15 days of playing with hit, he's managed to chew that strap up to the point that it's almost falling off. It would be nice if all the straps were the same, larger, size.

Highly recommend
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
I was skeptical that it would hold up to our aggressive chewer puppy (staffyX) - especially during teething. But it has survived past teething into adult chompers and is still fantastic! Its his favorite outside toy, especially the tags make it fun (and those have been holding up well too). If/when it fails, I'll buy another one.

great design, poor overall quality
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
My dog loves these balls. The "tags" are a great design. The problem I have is the quality as they aren't tough enough. He goes through them pretty quickly tearing off the tags and puncturing the ball. He doesn't get that these actually cost money! Each one also comes with a small pump, which I guess is great for a one time buy?, but man, if you don't own a pump just buy one and keep one. I have no use for several of these cheap pumps. How about offering the pump as an add-on for a dollar or two?
