The course introduces and explores a 6-part writing process suitable for any type of non-fiction writing. This process breaks the complex and often intimidating task of writing into smaller, much more manageable pieces, giving would-be writers a solid framework to guide them while maintaining complete creative freedom.

In this class, I use two pieces of free, open source software: Freeplane and LibreOffice.

Freeplane can be found at https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Home
Libreoffice can be found at https://www.libreoffice.org/

**Note** The two longer lessons, Outlining and First Draft are effectively a real-time writing session. The writing parts of them can be comfortably viewed at 2x speed, though, if you start to feel impatient. I didn't edit the video to be sped up by default because I didn't want to make that choice for you.
