"TD Storm’s excellent online class, Story Momentum, helps writers supercharge their stories. There are no dry, ho-hum lessons here. Tim uses short stories, novel excerpts, film clips and even music tracks to illustrate momentum in story-telling. The workbooks and challenges help writers to apply what they’ve learned, and the intensive option gives the opportunity for even more extensive feedback from Tim.
"Tim is, first and foremost, a teacher. This is apparent in the way he presents complex material, breaking it down and explaining it in a variety of ways, so that all kinds of learners have access to it. His goal is a simple one: he wants to help his students become better storytellers. This course is unique in that it takes one often-skimmed over aspect of storytelling – momentum – and brings it into sharp focus, allowing students to understand how momentum works and to apply these lessons to their own writing."

"In Story Momentum, TD Storm has assembled key elements of effective story creation, and he presents them in concrete, lucid terms. Refining a story into its best self requires a different skill set from what’s needed to unearth a story and affix it to a page. The material Tim offers in this course is dense, and to benefit, the writer must actively engage. But dedicated effort here pays off. Tim is not only capable of shedding enlightenment onto a writer’s draft, illuminating what’s working, pinpointing what isn’t, and prescribing solutions. He teaches one to see.
"Tim’s interest in interacting with his participants situates Story Momentum miles above other writing craft resources. His video lectures are engaging, efficient, and spot-on satisfying in addressing burning issues the writer is facing. He means it when he says he’ll listen to your questions, and he truly is just an email away.
"His mastery of story craft allows him to place a name to that which the writer, too close to the work, can’t easily describe. The outcome of Story Momentum is not just a polished creative piece, but a polished creator."
