Podcasts about storymatic

This week Nicole discusses part one of Lisa Cron’s book, Story Genius, entitled WHAT A STORY IS AND WHAT IT ISN’T. A deep understanding of story is one of the most important things a writer needs, but when Lisa Cron dared to say that everything we’ve learned about writing is wrong, Nicole was intrigued.    This episode was sponsored by The Coloringbook Coach.

We’ve made it to all four corners of the ring with #4 of Street Writers. “Take A Swing At This” declares the Storymatic (https://www.storymatic.com) a contender: it’s a cool set of cards that helps accelerate your writing with character and situation springboards. Dan has a glass jaw when it comes to Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim series of books, a high-energy mix of wit, demonology, and action. (https://www.richardkadrey.com) And in this "Hit Us With Your Best Shot,” Mark bobs and weaves with what he’s discovered writing his new "behind the scenes" Video Tips series. (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/take-voodoo-out-video-part-1-mark-bellusci/) How about getting in our corner and sending us some new listeners to https://anchor.fm/streetwriters And let’s make this about you, too. What are your ideas for “Take A Swing At This”? And let’s feature you and your WIP on “Hit Us With Your Best Shot”?
