In this episode, I'm sharing takeaway ideas on the writing craft from 6 Writer Unleashed episodes.

I'll share:

• how to inject conflict and surprise in your opening sentence;
• the difference between plot and story, and how to integrate both;
• why desire is the engine of your plot; 
• show vs. tell, and what to show;
• what backstory you need to know vs. what your reader needs to know, and;
• how to connect emotionally with your main character.
