Write a Stage Play in 30 Days
Practice makes progress.
​
This program guides you step by step through thirty focused days of stage-play creation. Each day builds naturally on the one before it, connecting your creative spark to story structure, scene craft, and reflection. You’ll complete one full stage-play concept, from the first idea to the final page.
​
Your daily rhythm:
1. Warm-Up (5 mins): read the day’s prompts.
2. Write (25–60 mins): follow the three actions on the page.
3. Reflect (5–10 mins): tick your progress boxes and capture a Story Seed.
​
Keep your sessions short and honest. You’re building creative consistency, not perfection. Each lesson provides space for notes, observations, and new ideas to grow into future stories.
