Been thinking about starting a private, tight-knit community to help you apply these storytelling frameworks to your novel. Would you be up for it? Let me know in the replies! And if you’re interested, join the newsletter-I’ll share updates there first: shorturl.at/DEbUa 📚✨

[@avigailomichael]

It's a yes for the community! I've just subscribed to your newsletter. Your videos are a blessing. Thank you so much! Please share that subplot tracker Excel sheet at the end of this video. 😊Pleeeease?

[@julianmaylett]

Absolutely! I’ll include a link to the Google Sheet in the upcoming newsletter 😊 If you’ve already got the All-in-One Writing tool, you’ll find the Notion database in the 'Revision Grid' tab. If not, let me know, and I can share more details! Also-were the examples clear? It’s always tricky to pick the right ones and make them as helpful as possible!
