John and Craig present a special clip show with craft-focused segments hand-picked by Aline Brosh Mckenna.
We’ll start by asking ‘Where to Begin?’ in Episode 174 and explore how to enter a story. Then we’ll discuss establishing setting and perspective in episode 45. Finally we’ll take a look at voice and the four rules to creating authentic dialogue.
