0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Storygrid podcast. This is a show dedicated to helping you level up your craft as a writer.
0:08.1	My name is Tim Graal and I'm a writer and the behind the scenes guy here at Storygrid.
0:13.5	This podcast episode is hosted by Storygrid certified editor Kimberly Kessler, alongside Sean Coyne, the founder of StoryGrid, and an editor with over 30
0:22.8	years of experience. In this episode, Kim and Sean continued their discussion on beats and look
0:29.9	specifically at how passive beats are used in your writing. Before we jump in, I want to mention
0:35.3	at an event I'm hosting it a few days.

1:49.3	brain, how it really gets to play from the bottom up and how they work together. And it's awesome
1:55.6	when you have different people, one person playing the editor and one person playing the writer,
2:00.3	it gets really tricky when you're trying to play the editor and one person playing the writer, it gets really
