I’m adding How Fiction Works to my wishlist! I found CS Lewis’ collection On Stories to be a thought-provoking and helped me remember the heart behind good storytelling. A practical book on writing fiction that changed the way I think about plotting novels is “Save The Cat! Writes a Novel” by Jessica Brody.

Among other things I'm reading Esau McCaulley's memoir, How Far To The Promised Land. He'd be a great guest on Russell's podcast! Also re-dipping into Letters to Malcolm, it always reads so fresh and with sentences and thoughts that stop me in my tracks.

We had him on in May; Russell blurbed the book and he mentioned it a bit in that episode. It's a terrific book, glad you're reading it! And Lewis is always a good re-read, I think. :)

Ooh, great, I'll go check the archives, I'm sure it'll be a great companion listen to the book itself.
