Is this really it? The fifth episode of Derailed Trains of Thought? Yes, it is!<\/p>\n
We apologize for the delay, but we were thrown off our posting rhythm, which, coincidentally, is exactly the topic of this episode\u2019s Story School. We discuss plot pacing, dramatic rhythm, forward momentum, and all those things that accentuate the story\u2019s individual moments.<\/p>\n
We also introduce two new segments called Listener Feedback and A Bit of Story; Muppet-obsessed Timothy Deal educates us on long-lost Henson products; and Nick Hayden peeks into China\u2019s underground church.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all in a day\u2019s podcast for Derailed Trains of Thought.<\/p>\n
SPECIAL NOTICE: This episode does not include a single reference to Star Wars. It does, however, manage to talk about Lost, so Nick and Tim are vindicated.<\/i><\/p>\n
