March Paid Update

Stuff for paid subscribers

Welcome to The Story Scrapbook, a fiction newsletter by E.B. Howard! If you’re new in town, check out my Fiction Directory for navigation.

The Drafting Table is my exclusive section for paid subscribers. In these posts, I share tentative posting schedules, show you some of my notes for works in progress, ramble about my characters and storyworlds, drop exclusive character art and design sketches, and whatever else I feel like doing that month. Support my work and get an inside look at my process!

$5 for one month or $30 for twelve.

What’s In This Edition

  • Review of February’s writing plan

  • “I don’t really do high-concept”, I say, but I had a very cool story idea this month and I think it might actually work out.

  • Thoughts: is trying to sell short stories worth it for me?

  • My writing plan for March

    • 5 serial episodes, 1 Thursday post

  • Notes from my Science! Girl and Chained Lightning edits

  • 
and a first look at the changes I’m making, with an integrated demonstration of how I use story structure.
