The Stories We Tell

from onGRIT Hosted by Rigel Patterson: Podcast Host & Blogger

The majority of people say they want to write a book, as much as 80-90% by some estimates, so today we're diving into what makes a good story. It turns out, there are some rules that writers use, and once you know them, you will start to recognize them in the books you read, the movies you watch, and—hopefully—in the stories you write. Matthew Bird, the author of Secrets of Story, shares some insights. And, yes, I recommend his book because it is not only brimming with ideas, it is laugh-out-loud.
