Welcome back Lore Lovers! Today Laura and Lorin discuss their approaches to writing, things that work for them, and tips and tricks they’ve picked up along the way. This episode is mainly meant for those considering starting out with writing, or are early in their writing journey. Writing is a craft that takes many, many years to develop, and can at times be daunting. There are tons of resources available to learn, and Lorin advises to put aside time whenever possible to devote to learning. YouTube has tons of free channels, Brandon Sanderson has all of his BYU lectures there. Additionally his podcast Writing Excuses comes highly recommended. Facebook writers groups can be a great place for support when you need it. Laura recommends the Save the Cat book for screenwriting by Blake Snyder, and Lorin recommends the Fabula deck of cards, which is built around the Hero’s Journey approach to plotting a story.
Reading Now: Lorin is currently just finishing Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L.
