One common structure—both macro and micro—is the "story within a story," or "framing story" structure, and yet somehow we've never really explored it on Writing Excuses. Guest host Peng Shepherd is here to help us set things right.
Liner Notes: Here are some examples of story-within-a-story structure...
* Canterbury Tales, by Geoffrey Chaucer
* Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell
* Hyperion Cantos, by Dan Simmons
* Neverending Story, by Michael Ende
* One Thousand and One Nights
* Sun the Moon and the Stars, by Stephen Brust
* Ten Thousand Doors of January, by Alix E. Harrow
Credits: This episode was recorded by Marshall Carr, Jr., and mastered by Alex Jackson
