Start writing is a craft-focused podcast dealing with the art of telling stories, we look at the structure of plots, scene, word choice, and all the details that go into writing great fiction.
We've had a lot of listeners ask us where to start. Our backlog spans many years! So this is meant to be tips for a beginner. It was put together with J as the lead, rather than Joe. See the video version here: https://youtu.be/rogG8TCFQtc
