Today we’re starting a new arc of podcasts that are all about story. And there’s no one better to do this with than our resident wizard: Bonnie. And, really, wizard might not be an apt enough descriptor. She has refined our StoryJacket process in a way that has changed the way Sterling and Stone tells stories forever. In this episode, we give an intro to the entire arc and let you know what we’ll be covering. And let’s be honest: Sean can’t help but drop some nuggets for you guys. We’ll just call it a small warm-up of what the season will be. This season’s arc will cover:

• Premise
• Character
• Setting
• Character Arc
• Plotting
