Hey storyteller.

A lot of new creative writers joined the newsletter during the past two weeks.

So this morning, I’ve rounded up 2024’s most popular pieces (so far), and I’m sharing a quick update on my new story development program (free beta).

2024’s Best of the Best

Here are this year’s most read articles. Catch up with these past issues if you missed any of them!

• How to Build a Cast of Magnetic Characters

• Use Everyday Life to Develop Characters that Fans Won’t Forget

• Setting the Stage for a Perfect Act 1

• How to Get Better as a Writer Every Day & Write Like Stephen King

Update: Plot Outlining Program

As mentioned last month, I’ve been working on a new experience so you can fully develop a cohesive scene outline that works from start to finish.

And the first round is free!

Because I’m seeking critical feedback and honest testimonials to make it perfect for the next (paid) round.

If you’re interested, reply to this email, and I’ll send you the details.

Thanks all around and see you next week!
