close, closer, closest
When it comes to the space between our readers and our stories, getting close is what we want.
How close? Closer than you think! But how do we “close the distance” between reader and tale?
This question of distance is one of those dare-I-say advanced topics in writing craft that is often woefully misunderstood—so often, in fact, that well-meaning agents and editors have been known to give terrible advice about it.
I’ll talk about that more in this week’s livestream about zooming in.
My weekly livestream happens on Wednesdays at 1 PM Pacific. Come live and participate! Or catch the replays here on the blog.
To watch live and ask questions, you can join the Path of the Storyteller Facebook group right here.
