“This writer talks about the “simplicity” of story structure and then proceeds to blabber about it in the most tedious, ways.

“K.M. Weiland has tremendous, game-changing (and illuminating) insights for all story writers! You’ll get lots of useful nuggets in every episode, so definitely listen and apply what you’re learning. Also, I highly recommend reading her book, “Creating Character Arcs” for all the same reasons.”
