0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Storygrid podcast. This is a show dedicated to helping you become a better writer.
0:07.8	My name is Tim Graal. I'm the host of the podcast and I'm a struggling writer trying to figure out how to tell a story that works.
0:15.7	Joining me shortly is Sean Coyne. He's the creator and founder of StoryGrid with over 30 years of experience.
0:23.3	Also with me today is Leslie Watts. She's the editor-in-chief of StoryGrid Publishing.
0:28.8	And Danielle Kiyoski, she is the chief academic officer of StoryGrid University.
0:35.0	Now, today is a little bit different. We're basically going to review what we've been
0:40.0	doing for the past nine weeks with the 624 analysis. And so if at any point in those episodes,
0:45.5	you were getting a little lost, you're now going to be able to hear all of it in one go. So
0:50.4	Leslie's going to start us out by walking through the entire 624 analysis for the eyewitness Ed McBain's story.
0:58.9	If you would like to download a PDF of the full 624 analysis of the short story, you can do that by clicking on the link in the notes in this episode.
1:09.1	If you're watching on YouTube, it's down in the description
1:12.5	as well. If you're listening, you can go to storygrid.com slash podcast. So after we do the
1:19.5	624 analysis, we start looking ahead at the next thing we have to look at in order for me to
1:25.5	write my iteration of this masterwork scene.
1:28.3	So Danielle gives an introduction to tropes and Sean gives an introduction to beats and beat analysis.
1:35.3	Now if you're listening to this episode instead of watching it on YouTube, this may be one that you want to go to YouTube and watch because Sean Coyne shares his
1:46.8	screen and works through some slides when he's talking about the beat analysis. So if you go to
1:53.4	YouTube and search for Storygrid or again, you can just go to storygrid.com slash podcast and
1:59.9	there will be a link to our channel there as well.
2:02.3	This may be one where you want to watch the video if you're used to just listening to the audio.
2:07.6	So with all that said, let's go ahead and jump into this episode.
2:12.0	I'm going to turn it over to Leslie to get us started.
