    First off LOVE blood like magic and blood like fate! Second off, really liked hearing your thoughts on this, I just read save the cat writes a novel and really enjoyed it but I think its nice hearing other peoples thoughts on it is nice since I am new to long form writing and everything feels very daunting compared to the short stories I'm used to writing. Thanks so much for sharing!!

    • @LiselleSambury
      @LiselleSambury  Год назад

      Thank you so much!!! 🥹💜 and I can totally understand that. It can be a bit of a transition with writing long form and so it can be nice to have the structure. And I also like hearing other people’s thoughts on a structure/how they use it because even if we’re all using STC, we can come out with really different executions of it

    Yay I love this video series idea. I recently read the Blake Snyder one, but didn’t love the narrative voice of it 😅 that’s so cool there’s one for novel-writing though!! And it was super interesting to hear your break down of this “beat.” And the “starting in the right place” part was super helpful!! 💛

    • @LiselleSambury
      @LiselleSambury  2 года назад +1

      Happy it was helpful for you! And that’s interesting, I haven’t actually read the Blake Synder one since I only do novel writing currently

    What about if you're writing say a thriller and your first chapter is that typical teaser with the killer. Do you still include a snapshot with your protagonist after the teaser? Or before? Or something else.

    • @LiselleSambury
      @LiselleSambury  9 месяцев назад +1

      I just consider that a prologue that’s separate from the rest of the novel. And then the first chapter is the opening image and I proceed from there.
