Co-hosts Alex and Chris blend their signature wit, real-world writing experience, and a few sun-soaked vacation antics to tackle some of the most frequently asked questions from writers like you.

Broadcasting poolside—Mai Tais not included—they dive into six of the biggest hurdles writers face: from crafting non-linear narratives and writing powerful scenes without dialogue, to building mysteries from a first-person perspective and portraying complex emotional states, even when you haven’t lived them yourself.

This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice, classic and modern examples (think "Inception," "Memento," "Jojo Rabbit," "The Apartment," and more), and actionable tips you can use right away.

Whether you’re struggling with making your romantic comedy both quirky and authentic, or you’re wrestling with telling tough stories from a child’s viewpoint, Alex and Chris have your back.

Plus, stick around for some bonus downloadable resources!

Tune in, get inspired, and—as always—tell the damn story.
