“Lesson 0: Critical v. Creative State of Mind” with Dave Herman

Here Be Tygers: Your Storytelling Guide

Today’s ep is a bit of a preface for our future miniseries on the ‘Seven Great Rules to Writing Stories that Sell’. These are things I found myself teaching all the time, so I thought it would be helpful for Dave and I to talk about prep for them. And how you can shift from a critical (‘what is…?’) to a more creative (‘what if…?’) state of mind when you’d like. We’ll also share some of the more pernicious tales we tell ourselves about why we ‘can’t try’ and what you can do to prove otherwise. We hope you enjoy -J
