Structure

This month’s focus is Structure. From the Latin: Structus, Meaning: I had no idea how well it can improve storytelling. I’ve been messing with wrapping my hands around structure (obligatory cock joke) on and off for a few years now, and it never really set-in. Like, it bounced around, hollowly with all the …
