We explore the key analytical tools Coyne introduces, including the Story Grid Spreadsheet and the Five Commandments of Storytelling, and discuss how the book reshapes our approach to editing. We also talk about why understanding genre expectations is essential and agree that this book is especially helpful for writers tackling revisions after completing their first draft. 📘WHERE TO FIND THE BOOK ONLINE: https://store.storygrid.com/books/ IMPORTANT LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE: 🌟 The Story Grid website: https://storygrid.com/ 🌟 Writing into the Dark by Dean Wesley Smith: https://www.amazon.com/Writing-into-Dark-without-Outline/dp/1561466336 🌟 Anatomy of Genres by John Truby: https://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Genres-Story-Forms-Explain/dp/0374539227 🌟 Shanon’s Kickstarter for A Curse of Wings & Gems: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sdhuston/a-curse-of-wings-and-gems YOU CAN STILL CATCH ALL THE FREE REPLAYS FOR THE 2024 AUTHORTUBE WRITING CONFERENCE👉 https://bit.ly/2024-AWC-Playlist ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ CONNECT WITH CATHARINA STEEL! 🌐 Catharina’s website: https://catharinasteel.com 📗 Catharina’s Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/catharinasteelauthor/vanishings-the-wythic-wood-mysteries-series-book-one 📸 Catharina’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catharina_steel_author/ 📱 Catharina’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CatharinaSteel.Author CONNECT WITH RITA SLANINA! 🎥 Rita’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RitaSlanina CONNECT WITH A ADESHILE! 🎥 Adeshile’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@adeshile.writes CONNECT WITH US! ▶Shanon’s (S.D.
