This week we discuss a live master class I attended and the existential crisis it created for me regarding my Big Idea.

This week we discuss Story Grid Resources, the Harry Potter Masterwork Analysis Guide, and recent progress on my WIP.

This week we discuss editing existing content vs. creating new content. I identify some problems along the way. And we discuss some new resources I found since our last time together.

This week I make it official. I start writing again. Not planning, not plotting, not outlining - just straight up writing. Yes, there will be ongoing research, and outlining in order to ensure the story heads in the right direction. But this week I wrote my first scene - and I can't tell you how good it feels to be back at it.

This week we look at the Big Idea itself. We start high level with Genre and Story Structure - then discuss a few categories the story falls into - and eventually we talk turkey - on what the story looks like.

This week we look a bit closer at some of the novel plotting methodologies. Then I discuss the strategy I've chosen - and round things out by talking through the spreadsheet I'm going to use to plan out the entire trilogy.

This week we look at two high level writing styles. I bet you can't tell which camp I'm in. Yes - I'm a Plotter - and in this episode I discuss the rationale behind my plan for book outlining.

This week we look at the writing process. How many people successfully write a novel? And how much harder would it be to write a trilogy? We wrap things up by talking about math - and the Math of Storytelling.

Welcome to Season 5! This year we embark on an entirely new journey. Transcend Human has been going strong for 4 years - but this year it gets a makeover. Join me this week as I cast vision for that change and together we'll dive into the abyss - and see where it takes us.

Crises happen. We don't get to decide when, or how bad they are. And when they arise they typically take the form of a Best Bad Choice or an Irreconcilable Good. Join us as we work through this topic and see if there are ways to be prepared for crises before they arrive.
