    When it comes to writing a novel, there are so many of us that fall into a wooden category. Our stories come off boring or there's something missing, a soul, an essence of life.

    31/03/2018 Duração: 23min

    When it comes to the writing community, so many people are either paying too much money and time for something that isn't properly equipping them with becoming a writer, or they're not paying anything to become a writer and they are baffled by their meager results. The difficult truth is that a writer must develop and hone their skills through one of two ways, spending copious amounts of time and dedication developing their skills through trial and error, or by paying for the wisdom and knowledge of those more progressed than they to help them develop their skills faster. If you are not paying to learn precious knowledge from others or spending immense amounts of time writing with a daily schedule, then you are sabotaging your success. Take a listen to find out how you can actively invest in your success through one of the two main sacrifices an author must make!

    Real characters are vital for helping our readers become invested and fans of our stories. One of the best ways to help readers slip into our world is to have characters that they can relate to and that means giving them flaws.

Something too much for our readers to relate to any longer?  Here are some tips that you can start implementing today to build up your characters and make them living and real Protagonists. 

  • Korbin's Korner 012: Know Thy Audience

    10/03/2018 Duração: 21min

    You know that scene in Field of Dreams where it basically goes "If you build it, they will come."  That's a bunch of crap. If they know it's there and are already interested in it, then they'll come, especially if you're a writer. Today, we're going to talk about why you should be thinking about where your readers are, how you'll get them, and if what you've spent years on building, is actually going to be interesting to them.  

  • Korbin's Korner 011: Tropes

    08/03/2018 Duração: 22min

    If you're brave enough to take a look at tropes anywhere online with communities, you'll find yourself barraged with a lot of opinions. Some people think that they are stale cliches that need to be torn down and reworked. Others think that tropes are staples and pillars of genres that should be respected and properly approached.  I feel like that's not really the right question, whether to use them or not. The right question is how do you approach them and why do they exist in the first place. Check out today's episode to find out more.

    Every student that has ever graced the halls of a creative writing class has undoubtedly heard the mantra of countless writing instructors: "Show! Don't tell." Every one of us has heard it, but I don't think that there has been a professor or teacher that I've had that truly took the time to explain this. In fact, it's something that we all struggle with consistently and will for a very long time as we travel the path to authorhood.  Which is why, I'm putting out this podcast episode to debunk the mantra's weighty shouts and give you a comprehensive breakdown of what that means and the tips you need to put it to good use!
