I'm back after a much needed Christmas/Birthday break, and today, we'll address a recurring issue that most fiction lovers fall into: they can't imagine what's happening in a novel, especially during long paragraphs of descriptions.
And this clip is a part of a workshop that I've recently hosted on https://www.amugofinsights.org/ title: The 5 Master Keys to Understanding Literature, and you can now watch the full workshop + demonstration here:
