Doin' The Thing w/ Dillan Taylor

The Key to Great Storytelling (w/ Quotidian Writer) pt. 1 | 030

Dillan Taylor / Quotidian Writer

"The key to great storytelling is change, meaningful change. Readers want to look at the beginning and end of a story and see that something has happened."

Dillan interviews Diane Callahan—aka Quotidian Writer. She's a YouTuber and podcaster in the fiction writing world. Her aim is to help creators tell better stories and 'just keep writing.'

We discuss: what makes stories good or bad, Diane's creative career, how Diane uses YouTube as a lead magnet for her business, how to collaborate with others, working on your own creations vs others' creations, the strange power of inconsistency, evergreen content, and much more.
