Episode 022
Honestly, you’re about to learn about one of the most important aspects that decide if you have a story or if it’s just a sequence of events where nothing happens at all.
You might already know what I mean: Stories are about change.
In each episode, I’m saying, “Stories are about change. Stories are about change.”
But what does “Change” actually mean?
- How can we end differently than we started?
- How can we show how our plot progresses?
- And how can we keep listeners engaged?
Well, in today’s bite-sized episode, you’ll discover how you can use that crucial element of storytelling for writing more captivating lyrics.
Are you ready?
Let’s get started.
