Just letting you know that I am teaching a story class in January! https://t.co/xzhtDx4lLm

@BarryTheAuthor IMO the tech is all there for storytelling, but a good storyteller hasn't productized their process yet.

My hope is that @BeeMacDee1950 's story architecture gets used for this.

The latest episode of my Story First podcast is out today.

This week I’m sharing an archive conversation with Treva Silverman. Treva was one of the pioneering writers on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977) .

I haven’t announced it here and so I guess I should. My Podcast is now up and running again. It has been rebranded, but it’s the same show. So if you enjoy learning storytelling in all its forms, you might enjoy the Story First podcast: https://t.co/2bZgUQgO2Q

Look what just arrived! Brian McDonald’s (@BeeMacDee1950) second edition of Invisible Ink! Currently ranking high for Screenwriting, Playwriting and Theater Direction on Amazon. 💯

This book (which I bought 11 years ago) literally changed my life. On how I see stories, approach my writing and visual storytelling. Brian IS a master of his craft.

I’m very happy for Brian on this release. Do yourself a favor: get it, read it, do the exercises, watch the movies, consume every podcast he’s in.

@DT2ComicsChat Ironically, my high school history teacher took this book away from me in class and now the book itself is history.

JUDGEMENT DAY, originally published in 1953. Comic Code Administrator Judge Charles Murphy rejected this story because the astronaut was Black. William Gaines, EC’s publisher, ran the story anyway. Art by Joe Orlando. 👩🏿‍🚀✨

@SwayMolina They want me to answer this riddle: What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?

@JesseItzler Absolute best book on Storytelling by @BeeMacDee1950.
Simple, not easy. Straight forward, no fluff.

In his grave we praise him for his decency but when he walked among us we responded with no decency of our own. Martin Luther King asked for nothing but that which was his due. He asked only for equality, and it is that which we denied him.
