This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 213th episode of the Word Play Podcast.

First thing today, I want to take a moment to thank you all for your support and enthusiasm

for structuring your novel, essential keys for writing an outstanding story.

You guys get all the credit for making the launch success.

I have already been thrilled to hear people are digging into the book and discovering the empowerment that structure brings to our

writing.

It's my hope that the information in the book will help you strengthen your old stories

and teach you how to write new ones.

So here's to word players everywhere.

How to make your reader's heads explode.

The latest post in the video series on my blog encourages writers to pursue story ideas that will inspire a rabid fandom among their readers.

To watch it, visit my website at Helping Writers Become Authors.com.

New videos are posted every Wednesday.
