Happy Tuesday, friends!

Today we have Maryam Master with us to chat about how scriptwriting has shaped our writing. Whether it's through dialogue, writing action, or the three act structure, scriptwriting can be a useful technique to keep your story snappy and to-the-point. Have you ever tried using this technique to write?

Make sure to check out Michael Arndt's video "Endings: The Good, the Bad, and the Insanely Great" on YouTube.

You can find Maryam Master on Instagram!

It's never fun when you receive feedback from agents and/or editors advising you to do big rewrites on your story. But you know what? After giving yourself the space to sulk, you almost always find that these rewrites make your story stronger. And isn't that what we want most of all?

Can you think of a cliffhanger from a story that got you so excited you had to keep reading? In this episode, the team chat about how they tackle cliffhangers in their own books, and what feelings they want to evoke when writing their closing lines.
