About this listen

C.S. Lewis didn’t plot out the entire Narnia saga. He didn’t number the books. He wrote the second one first. And somehow, it all worked.

This week’s episode continues our celebration of the 75th anniversary of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We dive into the final three “impossible reasons” The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe works, including:

-How Lewis survived brutal critique from his own writing group-Why the story became a series without a master plan-How the books remain readable out of order

Next week, we’ll pivot to another story with actionable writing tips and encouragement — don’t miss it.
