It’s an all-craft episode as John and Craig discuss what they mean when they say good writing.
Quality isn’t an objective measurement but rather a subjective experience. It’s the relationship between the reader and writer. From vulnerability to voice, consistency to surprise, good writing shares many characteristics with good acting.
We then look at three new entries in the Three Page Challenge, trying to apply what we just discussed.
