Summary: The first episode of the Story Telling Podcast is out. This being the first episode, we spent a good amount of time introducing ourselves. Aside from me (your lovely host) there's Zach Bolger and Crystal Logothetis, both of whom are independent authors of tremendous skill and relatively little renown (which is the only reason they've agreed to work with me). I figured it was good to get on their bandwagons before they blew up in their respective writing genres. STORY BEGINNINGS We decided to tackle story beginnings -- whether for books or films -- and the best way to use them, along with different examples of our favorite and least favorite beginnings. It turns out, for example, that Zach and Crystal both hate Ender's Game. SHOUT OUTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS I referred to the book Save the Cat during the episode; if you want to purchase it, you can get it from Amazon via this affiliate link (I get fifty cents if you do!

I also made reference to friend of the show and fellow indie author Crissy Moss' book, Flight of the Griffins, which you can check out here: Click here to buy Flight of the Griffins.
