podrickp ,

seven basic plots !

I did a fair bit of research trying to find podcast related to Christopher bookers seven basic plot. The result was almost nonexistent. Glad to have listen to these and heard your ideas. Will be incorporating into my second novel 👌

So Much to Learn

I love listenting to all the episodes, but after my husbands affair, the episode on editing your life story was truly timely. I have stood on the edge of the river, googled ways to kill myself, and played with sharp knives, and every time the thought that I don't want my story to end that way pulls me back. Clark is a hero in so many ways. Keep up the great work.
