E101. Special Release: Eastern vs. Western Storytelling Structures
About this episode
This week I'm releasing one of my Patreon bonus episodes as part of my December special content! I discuss the "kishotenketsu" style of storytelling and how it differs from the Western three-act structure. I also include a brief update on how things are going with my novel revisions. Enjoy!
