Complimentary Episode for non members! I’m sharing the story I’m most proud of — a nested Panchatantra-inspired piece where characters hand off the narrative like nodes in a complex system, diverging and converging yet always returning with the thread unbroken. It’s as much about structure as it is about story. Stay tunes for next episode by subscribing free of charges. Thank you!
