I hope you will join me.
The Science of Storytelling is on my shelf of indispensable books about writing. I consult it often. If stories are our species' umwelt, the wonderful thing is that we can enhance that umwelt by telling better stories. Best wishes for your Substack project!
And you’re up and running! I have been looking forward to this project.
