The Art of Storytelling - Saige J. Oliver

ANAPHORA!!! It can be used for rhythm. It can be used for emphasis. It can be used to express. It can be used in lyrics!

NANOWRIMO is in full-swing! By now, your cast of characters are well on their journey to success... or utter disaster! Whatever the case may be, your character is undergoing a journey--a character arc. It can be incredibly helpful to know how to properly craft one as your character journeys through the ever-unfolding path before them.
