    Where Should You Begin?

    Where Should You Begin?

    This week, we're exploring the wonderful world of... well, where to start. Honestly, it's a hard question, and doesn't have a definite and final answer. Quiet and idyllic days, or in the middle of a massive battle, or the beginning of time itself, or the end? 

    Per usual, Gil, Michael, and Paul at their respective posts doing their respective tasks.

    The Hook - Diving into Structuring Your Novel

    This time, Gil is diving deep into the hook and trying to understand how to grab your reader at the right time.

    As usual, Michael is techie, Gil is talkie, and Paul is... I mean, techie again, but with musical talent.

    Intro to Structuring Your Novel

    Intro to Structuring Your Novel

    Hey all, Editor-Person here with another new episode. Gil so very kind to take on the blame for our... loose schedule these last months, but let us be honest: I've fallen behind, and I'm sorry.

    This week, we're taking a short look at K. M. Weiland's Structuring Your Novel (linked below on Amazon). 

    As usual, Mix Master Mike on the keyboard, PK-357 on the synth, and the Right and Honourable Gil on the mic.

    Those First Few Precious Pages

    Those First Few Precious Pages

    This week, Gil explores the importance of the opening pages of your novel (and his) as we continue through Pimp My Fiction. I hope you enjoy listening!

    As normal, Michael here playing Keyboard Ninja, Gil's on the mic (hopefully not dropping it too often, they're expensive to replace!), and Paul composed and performed our soundtrack.

    Thanks for listening!

    The Story Circle and Story Skeleton

    The Story Circle and Story Skeleton

    Apologies for the unintended hiatus. As editor, I take responsibility for this long, unplanned break. -Michael

    Moving right along, we're back with a little more on story structure. Come sit down with us this week as Gil takes us through some more ways to structure story (with more than a little help from Dan Harmon of Community and Rick & Morty fame). 

    As usual, Gil does the hard part, I do the tech stuff, and Paul wrote and performed the fantastic music. 

    Oh, and a link: https://darlingaxe.com/blogs/news/story-skeleton

    See you all next time.
