0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Story Grid podcast. This is a show dedicated to helping you become a better |
0:05.8 | writer. I'm your host Tim Graal and I am a struggling writer trying to figure out how to tell a |
0:11.3 | story that works. Joining me shortly is Sean Coyne. He is the creator of Story Grid, the author of |
0:17.5 | the book Story Grid and an editor with over 25 years experience. |
0:21.9 | In this episode, I had written a couple scenes that were objectively pretty bad. |
0:27.6 | And then I got some inspiration and was able to actually get a scene written that I was happy with. |
0:33.5 | And it kicked off a great conversation with Sean about a new way of looking at story or another |

1:28.1 | that one and it kind of inspired me a little bit because really what I am is I'm terrified |
1:35.2 | of writing this book. And I feel like the podcast is kind of making me write it, which is good |
1:42.6 | for me. But at the same time, like, I'm doing it, |
1:46.6 | well, I'm resisting it, you know. I'm kind of trying to slow it down. And I keep feeling like |
1:53.0 | I'm writing this not very good stuff because I don't really know what to do with myself. |
1:59.2 | So I had written two scenes and they just weren't very good because they're just slow and |
