We did some revision work last week and didn't get to this part of the show notes. So here we go, a whole episode on what would have been one segment last week. ::wideeyedemoji::So how is it actually done? Well, here’s the link explaining what
It’s been more than a year since we studied plot arcs and even then we didn’t grab the recordings and add them to our podcast service. So we’re reviving those conversations for a few weeks to get some good episodes for the podcast.Missed a week
So last week we talked about basic outlines and discussed the turning point method versus the beats method for figuring out the structure of the story.We debated whether or not to write from a detailed outline in the initial draft – it provides
Is there any more arbitrary experience than Groundhog Day? It’s a day when an entire town lets a rodent predict the future. Or the weather anyway. Several questions:Is there any other profession besides weatherman insulted by the insinuation th
So we’re in the middle of the “Must Read” challenge and Rex has completed 50% of the recommended texts and Kasie has completed 0%. How should we punish her for not doing her homework?But really, why we’re here this week is to celebrate the new
Couple of paired episodes last week and this one. Last week we took on first person narrators. Some good discussion (if I do say so myself) on collective first person (we, us) and the limitations of the first person narrator, including the esta
So we’ve been working on perspectives of the narrator the last few weeks and at the end of each episode we talked about how to choose. But today I thought we’d do something fun by imagining some pretty famous (well known) stories from someone e
Our first conversation about film adaptations of books happened way back in August 2019 with episodes 54 & 55 – we talked so much we had to continue it out the next week. But yesterday was National Screenwriters’ Day and so I delivered my five

We’ve had the last three weeks to do something other than this on Saturday mornings and I gotta say, this is a better use of my time (laughing emoji). November 4th was Storyfest and that was awesome.November 11th was the SC Libertarian Party st
It’s week 2 of our NaNoWriMo boot camp and we’re just four days away from the kickoff of the frenzy of writing that is NaNo. So today we’re going to talk about what you should be doing, what you can expect from the month and whether this whole
Segment 1So we have a couple of things to catch up on first. Two weeks ago was HorrorCON. How did that go?Our dear friend and writing group lead, Ginny Padgett passed away on September 11th. So we’d like to take a moment to honor Ginny and talk
Couple of paired episodes this week and next. The 1st POV and the 3rd POV to finish off the craft part of the year. Then we’ll have a listener appreciation episode, with a very special patron of the show live in the studio. If you’ve got though
In August we attempted a series on characters: Episode 240 was about the protagonist. Episode 241 was about the antagonist and Episode 242 was, too. Last week we were off to assist SCWA with their one-day Indie Author Camp and that was too much
Does the antagonist always have to lose? (link)What about the mutual satisfaction ending?Plot-by-role discussion of the antagonist at this link.Early (the hook) - the antagonist has their own thing, not really engaged with or concerned about th
Segment 1First, Kasie finally got around to that whole cache of recordings and put them all up on Simplecast through June 30th. July to come. It starts here with “The Write Stuff” from last fall. (I know. I told you it had been a while).In Augu

Segment 1Last month we jumped around a bit – special guests, time travel, the mentor character. It was all pretty self-serving. Rex went on vacay so I brought my friends on.In August, we’re going to try for a series. We haven’t done this for a
Today’s special guest is Heather Harris-Bergevin, an author whose business, Barrow Editing, is based in Columbia, South Carolina. She, her three children, two cats, and a happy pitbull spend most of their time fighting entropy. Her own poetry b

So last week we did time travel and I have to confess, it was a LOT so I could think through my own time traveling vampires novel and the needs, uses, and functionality of time travel in the plot. So thanks.This week we’re doing the mentor-appr
