I just want to share this opportunity to those who would like to learn more about storytelling. This is a 5 day mini course, offered by Waldorfish.
You can sign up here if you are interested:
I am not sure what I will be learning in this course, but I always like Waldorfish's tutorials and webinars. I am sure I will surely learn something good for myself.
Do you always tell stories?
Modern resources for Waldorf teachers + homeschooling families.

It has well been said, "There is no such thing as a free lunch".
What they want, of course, is your email address so that they can continue to try and sell you writing courses. Having said that, I have signed up for the 'free' five day course. It may (emphasise 'may') tell me something I didn't already know and it may well tell others something that they didn't know which will spark them into writing stories of their own. What I am pretty sure it won't do is to tell you everything you need (or think you need) to know. Such 'taster' courses are very cleverly designed to leave you with the impression that you DO need to buy their product!
Am I being cynical? Yes, I probably am! I signed up, though, partly so that I could learn how to do this trick - give something away for free so that you leave people panting for more with their wallets open. It's quite a clever one and, usually, the best of them will actually teach you something before you have to pay. The worst ones are those which tell you nothing which you didn't already know - even though you maybe didn't know you knew it.
At least we can maybe look forward to one or two good stories from you, @kaka135 (but not too long - 200 to 300 words would be best for here). Maybe some from me, too!

Yes, I understand that. I have signed up to quite a number of free courses, though they always lead me to some paid products, I still always learn something useful from the free ones. But there are also some that I found I learned almost nothing or I was not interested in them, then I just unsubscribed.
I am fine with this website, Waldorfish, as I like to read their blog and tutorials, and I have also subscribed their newsletter. I have also read that giving free online course is a good way to market the products or attract more readers to our blog/website. So, hopefully you will be able to pick up some skills from it.
I think it's a course to share how we can tell stories, but might not be writing our own stories, though I also like or forced to make up stories to tell my children. Maybe I can share some kid's stories.

@skysnap Yes, actually I did purchase products from some of these educational websites. I might not have confidence to just purchase their products if I have not seen how they teach or what they share. These free courses or webinars also let us know whether we will like their products. It's just like some software offer free version and paid/premium version.
