So I&#8217;m very excited to bring to you today a few of my resources that I think that you will like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right.

So I share- I am coming up.. So I have chosen some of them to share with you today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the first up is, and in no particular order, becauseI love all of these things&#8211; If you are a writer working in your first draft, you might be wondering about point of view and you might be wondering: how do I deepen my point of view?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me tell ya. I have a book on that topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Written by Alice <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gaines.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Now Alice is a wonderful writing teacher and a working writer. And we teamed up and she taught a fabulous workshop to my community. And then we turned that into a slim, practical book that will help you take the steps you need so that you can create deep point of view. It&#8217;s called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mastering Deep Point of View, Simple Steps to Make Your Stories Irresistible to Your Readers<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Alice Gaines is a USA Today bestselling author. It&#8217;s a short book at 61 pages, great pocket size. And of course it&#8217;s also available in print and digital. I really recommend it if you are looking for some very specific craft techniques on how to deepen point of view.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[02:13] Trust Your Creative Heart Roadmap\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Next up, I want to highlight a free resource.
