Fun last live teaching & coaching call last night!
Here's the link to our webinar yesterday on plot, where we covered High Concept, Unfortunately/Fortunately (also know as Problem/Solution), and Scene Setup:

We also got to admire our cats, Kitty and Leo, who added their version of story telling: being cute, having gorgeous tails, and purring.
Lastly, we talked about some tips for writing during Nanowrimo, and what support we're offering.
If you'd like to join us for November for our next round of the Fellowship of the Pen, we'd love for you to join us for support, accountability, and teaching while you write your novel.

- Tips and techniques on how to make room in your life to write daily (or nearly daily)

- Support with re-assigning the critical, editorial, judging (left-brain mind)
- Cheerleaders for what you’re creating from your peers and knowledgeable mentors, Beth & Ezra Barany, and coaching assistant, Carol Malone
