I’m going to start covering those cliches that we hate to hear, but they’re like flossing–we know we should be doing them. But so many times people just say “raise the stakes” or “show, don’t tell” and then …nothing else. No examples or explanations. So let’s floss those teeth.

I’m taking a break from streaming (don’t worry, just vacation) until August 4, when I will announce new and exciting changes to my content!
