I have a FREE EBOOK coming out May 1:

Nontraditional Plot Structures for Neurodiverse Writers

A free ebook that introduces neurodiverse writers (and neurotypical) to plot structures beyond the commonly used hero's Journey. These plots are emotionally accessible, highly creative, and more "traditional" than you'd expect.

Message me for more info. Or just to chat. 😁
