This week we're getting organized. But the problem is, you can get too organized, too structured with your fiction. You can read too many books on story structure and get swamped in all the complications. LL wrote in with a question about this...a year ago... ahem. But never fear: Jody and Baker are here with some advice on how to use story structure to serve your writing best and not let it cage you in.

Also we are holding our very own Fiction Contest! Send in your writing, 3,000 words or less of any of your unpublished work by November 15th, 2016, and we’ll pick our favorite. The winner will get their work read, or most of their work read, on a future episode of Fiction School and will be published in Razor Lit Mag. Get writing and send us what you’ve got!
