Hey Scribes,
I was wondering if there were words or phrases that you use to help you write or that might help others learn how to write a better story. I'm referring to words like "Hook" or "Pinch Point" or "Activate Your Verbs," or possibly tropes like "Lampshade" or "McGuffin."
But I'm also looking for words that might not be so common. In particular, Mythic Scribes members have coined words like "info-littering" and "waypoint writer." Are there others that I've missed?
I ask because I'm thinking about whether it would be helpful to put together a tightly trimmed glossary or other materials that might help to push our collective understanding of the writing process.
Thanks Scribes!
