About this listen

Word of the week: Aglifft

In this episode the hosts discuss how to identify elements of a story that need to be cut or replaced to take your story to the next level. Learning how to recognize elements of a story that only serve a purpose once or twice as a plot device is important to developing a watertight story that doesn't leave readers shaking their heads.

Join Ash and Karissa as they discuss the uses, dangers, and fixes for plot devices that just don't quite fit into the larger story.
