Welcome back to another episode of Storybeast! This week, Gabi and Nadine fly solo in their chat about the transformative power of story. 

In this episode, you'll hear about:

interpreting excerpts by emotion
using sentence cadence and rhythm to evoke emotion
how reading as a writer might take different forms for you
reading while drafting vs reading while revising
playing with structure: timelines, white space, physical placement and formation of words on a page, borrowing craft inspiration from non-novel based forms
how clever use of humor and device can provide scaffolding for setting up reader expectations and work to introduce subtle foreshadowing
striking the balance of giving readers enough to be present while trusting them to fill in the blanks
plenty of examples where we analyze lines and paragraphs of excellent books
which one of us won't run to catch the bus
