Transcend Human Podcast Daryl McMullen

This week we move into world building - something I completely forgot about until I realized my story takes place 100 years in the future. So yes - world building is going to be a prerequisite...

This week we continue to plan - or plot - whatever works for you. We discuss how planning can make a mess and that you can get lost in the process. But with every mess comes new possibilities - new opportunities for growth and progress toward your goal.

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.
