Listen "SWRT 276 | Things We Say"
Episode Synopsis
This week on the Story Works Round Table, Kathryn turns the table on Alida. We talk "things we say," all those bits and bobbles of craft speak that get tossed around but not always defined. What does it mean to be tightly plotted? Does every character need a lie or core wound, and are those the same thing? I have a new session of fiction group coaching beginning soon. This is a special opportunity for writers with a solid grasp of novel writing who are ready to greatly improve their writing skills in a small group of peers with me as your mentor. Each session is three months with biweekly calls. Group size is limited so every member gets time each call to address their story craft questions and discuss their work in progress. Writers in last year’s coaching group have been amazed by the progress they make by having the chance to solve problems as they go, instead of waiting for full draft feedback. The amount of support, encouragement, and accountability is immense. If you’ve got a work in progress, a manuscript getting musty in a drawer, or a complete draft with some problem spots you’d like to dive into, all while becoming a better writer through mentorship and peer support, go to: www.WordEssential.com/editing/coach Visit WordEssential.com and book a discovery call today!
