ISBW #526: Outlining With the Story Grid method

Is it an outlining tool, though?

ISBW #525: Outlining using Save the Cat method

This one went MUCH better, so for me, Saving the Cat is better than Snowfall. It's still a long video, so it's only on Twitch till October 14, 2020.   Tuesday we cover the Story Grid method (live -- it'll be on the feed next Thursday)!   Save the Cat Writes a Novel

ISBW #524: Outlining with the snowflake method

This was a LONG video and it seems people don't like you to post 1hr + videos to Youtube when you're not fancy and verified. So the video is on Twitch for TWO WEEKS only, check it out if you want.

ISBW #523: NaNoWriMo Prep & Plan

I like to plan early, and through long discussion we worked out what we're doing for NaNoWriMo: Reruns for the daily show and live virtual write-ins for the streams!

Note: I lost the stream in the middle and had to reconnect. I've edited the two halves together but I'm noticeably flustered for the second half. Support this show on Patreon!

ISBW #522: Agents, ADD, and Track Changes

It's been a rough few days, but I'm back to talk about agents being people, too, still addressing ADD and productivity (I'm seriously considering writing a LARPing a responsible human blog series), and how to handle an editor who doesn't use Track Changes. (Wha?)

ISBW #521: Bad Days are the BEST

I talk about training your brain, and as long as you do your part, you should start training your brain to do its part. Atomic Habits Zumbo's Just Desserts Blaseball (again)

ISBW #520: The Angry Molasses Episode

"If it's not I've had a few bad days and am still dedicated to streaming on time, so I talk about what's making me mad (because it does affect my creative pursuits.) I bet Terry Gross doesn't bring her angst to her show...

By the way, the Murverse newsletter is no more. I kinda did a rage-quit this morning.

ISBW #519: Protagonists vs Antagonists

I'm not a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes stories, but Doyle did one thing Christie didn't: he made a brilliant sleuth and then gave him an antagonist just as smart.
