In this episode, I blather for way too long about the book Save The Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need and how it relates to novel writing (at least, my attempt at novel writing).

In this episode, I discuss some great pieces of advice from Brandon Sanderson, found in this writing lecture of his.

In hopes nobody will mind me stealing his advice, I’ll also recommend purchasing his latest novel, now in paperback:

Wow, I managed to talk to myself for almost an hour. I think that is a sign of writer genius. Or stupidity.

In this show, I discuss:

- my novel progress report
- this:

- Where’s the plot?
- What Makes Literary Fiction Literary?
- Against Story (disclaimer: I don’t know much about Freytag, nor did I attempt to find out, but he’s irrelevant to my ultimate points)
- Difficult conversations – Part 3
- The Real Kindle Killer

Thanks for listening!

In the first episode the podcast, I blather on and on about focusing… or something… I was tired so it was hard to focus.

Listen at your own risk.
