Listen "Writing vs. Storytelling | LOL 089"
Episode Synopsis
This week I discuss the differences between writing and storytelling. If you’re like me, you may have spent a lot of time and energy focusing on your writing while giving little thought to the art of telling a good story. I illustrate how point-of-view violations are anathema to good storytelling. Finally I explain how whichever path you’re taking—traditional publishing or independent publishing—good storytelling is far more important to your success than good writing.LinksLex Out Loud is now on Spotify.Get a free 30 day trial of Audible with my affiliate link.Check out my Guide to Novel Formatting in Word.Join my Book Club.How to get free ebooks & audiobooks from your library.Wired for Story by Lisa CronStory Genius by Lisa CronSave the Cat!
