Rachael Stephen | Containing the Story

Earlier this year, Rachael Stephen taught a workshop called The Story Toolkit

In this presentation, she thoughtfully did away with one of the biggest hassles most writers face: how do I keep track of my ideas? Sometimes being a nourished writer isn't just about what you take in, it's about how you store what you put out.

Rachael is also an expert in The Plot Embryo, an outlining method that I've fallen in love with through her teaching. In this episode, we explore the various containers our work exists inside of, including our minds.

We go deep into how to save our brainpower for the most important tasks, why brainstorming is the answer to almost everything and how to let a project go when it isn't serving you anymore.

If you've ever searched frantically for that little note you wrote that one time all over your house, this is your episode. Happy listening!

By speaking to authors and other book lovers, I'm diving into the mystery that is the book world today.
