EP 5 - The Basics (and Everything Else) of A Story

Write, Read, Question is a weekly podcast where I put to the test writing advice, tips, and techniques while writing my own novel.

In this week's episode, we talk about the four absolutely necessary cornerstones of a successful story (plot, characters, conflict, and intent), how to judge for yourself what other pieces should occupy your focus (theme, POV, backstory, etc), and what details you're probably okay to leave until later.

Oh, and I lament about having to change story ideas for the novel I'm writing. But it's a change that should result in a stronger product.
