Episode 14: Live NaNoWriMo Kick Off Party

Episode 13: Story Structure
Hello Christian Indie Writers,
Welcome to another episode of our Podcast in which we discuss Story Structure. Whether you are writing a romance novel, a thriller, or a noir detective story your story will have a structure. The genre you choose may determine the one you use, or you may choose to stick with a basic 3 act or 4 act structure.
But how do you choose? That is just one of the questions we try to answer on todays podcast. For example, we talk about the dystopian novel that I am writing and how I chose to use a heroes journey type story structure. We will also discuss several other kinds of structures; what they look like and how they work.
I hope that you will find value in todays discussion. Please leave us a comment to let us know how you’re liking the podcast so far and what type of things you’d like us to discuss in the future. Speaking of the future, we are having a NaNoWriMo kick-off party on October 31st. It will be a live-stream broadcast starting at 11 pm Eastern time concluding with a word sprint at midnight. You won’t want to miss it. It’s going to be a blast.

Episode 12: Increasing Your Word Count
Good Morning,
In today’s podcast we discuss strategies we’ve used to increase our word counts. I think it’s funny that topics similar to this are the ones assigned to me. I know that these assignments are random, but I also know that God is in control. He knows that I need to pay extra attention to these topics in particular. Of the four of us I’m the worst at keeping a writing schedule, so as I host today’s podcast, I’m really working on myself. I hope you receive as much helpful advice and motivation as I did.
Are you a plotter…or a panster?
Good morning Christian Indies!

We’ve been so busy over here at the Christian Indie Writers’ Podcast, not only prepping our own stories for National Novel Writing Month (lovingly referred to as NaNoWriMo around the world), but we’ve been hard at work with our #Preptober series [Read more…] about Are you a plotter…or a panster?
