Welcome to Douglas Wilson's The Plotcast and happy Friday.

Apologies that we weren't able to get this out on Wednesday like we normally do,

Douglas Wilson provides indispensable guidance, showing how to develop the writer's craft

and the kind of life from which good writing comes. Yes God.

God don't never change.
