🎙️ Hey, fellow creatives, Welcome back to "Tell The Damn Story"!

This time it's Alex Simmons, holding down the fort solo while Chris is under the weather.

In this episode, we'll explore the craft of crafting riveting tales that keep readers coming back for more.

We'll chat about what makes a story truly compelling—think characters with wild backstories like Jesus of Nazareth or fictional legends like Batman and Hellboy.

We're talking about the elements that set your story apart, from the setting and time period to the overall tone and message.

Plus, Alex will break down the essentials of story structure—the beginning, middle, and end. Using "CODA" as an example, we’ll explore how character-driven plots can really hook an audience.

Whether you're the meticulous planner or the type who writes on the fly, you'll gain some tips to help you get past writer's block and build characters that pop.

And stick around to get your hands on a TTDS Writer's Guide packed with more cool resources.

So grab your pens, pencils, or keyboards, and let's get creative together. Ready to craft some awesome stories? Let’s go! 🚀
