Hello and welcome to the Story Grid podcast. This is a show dedicated to helping you become a better

writer. I'm your host Tim Graal and I am a struggling writer trying to figure out how to tell a

story that works. Joining me shortly as Sean Coyne, he is the creator of Story Grid, the author of

the book Story Grid and an editor with over 25 years experience. In this episode,

I start diving into a new book that I want to work on. Now that the threshing is getting

published and the contender guide is moving forward, that was the last three or four years of my life, was getting to the point that

I could actually write and publish the threshing. And now I'm ready to start a new project.

So I talked through filling out the Foolscap story grid and get Sean's input before I get started

actually writing.

So I think it'll be a fun one.

It was a fun one for me to talk about something other than the threshing.

And hopefully you'll get something out of this as I start a new novel and you can follow along with it.

So let's jump in and get started.

So Sean, now that the threshing is done with a capital D coming out really soon,

you know, it's, I'm already thinking about the next book that I want to work on and thinking

through what it's going to be.

And I've had this idea about a book for a while.

I've had this thought.

So should I just kind of tell you the idea for the book?

And then we can kind of go through.

Okay.

So, you know, I did the full scap and I sent you that and we'll look at that in a second.
