In this laid-back episode of StoryWorld, Steve and Alex catch up on their year so far, filled with sicknesses, traveling, and contrasting their current pace with last year’s rapid episode releases. They chat about their recent TV show obsessions and entertain the idea of recording a podcast on the beach. They even explore quirky ways to bring the beach experience home, like heat lamps and spray tans.

Diving into their writing journeys, they share their progress on novel outlines and drafts, the development of a magic system, and the importance of character-driven storytelling. The excitement of getting their work out into the world sparks a conversation about releasing short stories and leveraging platforms like Wattpad for discoverability. Join Steve and Alex as they discuss their creative endeavors, future plans, and the joys of storytelling.

The world of “story” has captivated humanity since the dawn of time. The oldest known form of communication, verbal storytelling is responsible for the continuity and development of civilization from its most primitive moments to its most advanced. Story invokes a sense of mystical wonder, but is also a powerful medium for communicating real and concrete ideas that shape people’s lives and make them take action. Steve Schramm (Marketer, Non-Fiction Writer, and Story Nerd) and Alex Giguere (Fiction Writer, Wannabe Game Designer, and Story Nerd) join forces as worlds collide to discuss how “story” is the most powerful concept ever known, and how it interacts with each and every aspect of our lives — from the most magical to the most mundane.
