This training discusses how to put a story within a story and keep it part of the original story. I told a joke at the end. Let me know if you thought it was funny?

Your joke was my kind of silly humour 😂

In this session I talk about timing of the story. I was trying to be brief and couldn't bring to mind some of the words I was trying to say but here is one of them: flashback. So use flashbacks, foreshadowing, and rearranging timeline to show glimpses of something happening in the vague background before revealing the full story. Or reveal details about the story in different parts of the book using these techniques. The book I mentioned that I am reading has a very good example of this that you should be able to see in chapter one of the "Read Sample" on the Amazon listing and is called "Capuche" by Hotse Langeraar

Thank you for the reminder of how powerful foreshadowing can be!

Agreed! I once analyzed a really exciting, tense scene in Ken Follett’s book, The Key to Rebecca. A big part of what he did was to really pile on the verbs!
Food for thought 🤔

A magic bakery is such a cute idea. Do the baked goods have magical powers? Or the bakery itself?

Please be aware there is a 15 second glitch that will cause the recording to seem to freeze.

Thanks, Zane. I think the advice to "pay attention" is really good. Simple, but so easy to forget! On my morning runs, I sometimes pick a sense to focus on and really pay attention to it. It's amazing how many different birds I hear when I pay attention to sound! Was this recorded on Skool's native platform by the way? Or Zoom? Thanks for the warning about the glitches.

@Zane Dowling Yes, time zones can be tricky to navigate for Lives!
