There’s no shortage of writing advice. Especially in the online space. Google is not the best gatekeeper. And some FB groups are doling out conflicting advice, canned advice, bad advice. Writers hear the same advice so often, a lot of them have come to regard them as the only way to craft a story.
But these are often half baked ideas that are keeping you from moving forward. They’re taking you totally in the wrong direction. They’re myths.
Myths about plot and structure. Myths about how to create drama. And what it means to write beautiful sentences.
Myths that are taking you way off course. It’s either the wrong approach, or it just doesn’t go deep enough.
