ISBW #402: Foundations

I get into Save the Cat Writes a Novel, the new book covering the famous screenwriting beat sheet method and applies it to novels.

Also, check out the Patreon to get the daily NaNoWriMo show and access to the Discord where you can hang with other listeners!

ALSO- I will be appearing at Books With A Past this Saturday, November 17, at 3pm! I’ll talk writing, NaNoWriMo, and more! If you’re in the Baltimore area, I’d love to see you.


Did you know you could have heard an expanded edition of this show earlier if you supported the Patreon?

You can get the rest for only $1 a month.
