What’s the Point? Why Every Story Needs One
Description
If you’ve ever found yourself halfway through a novel draft wondering what it’s really about, this episode is for you.
In the second instalment of my Story Development series, I explore Step 2 of the Blueprint for a Book: What’s Your Point? This is where your story starts to take shape around something deeper - a belief, a truth, an argument you’re making about the world.
You’ll learn why every story is, at heart, trying to prove something, why clichés aren’t the enemy, and how one simple sentence can become the emotional compass for your entire book. Whether you’re writing about magical cakes or dystopian rebellions, this step will help you root your story in meaning.
Tune in to discover how to name the soul of your novel - and why that matters more than you think.
