In a fun, graphic way, Pixar—a notably successful storyteller—gives us their notion of the 22 rules to utilize for telling a phenomenal story.
My favorite is one I’ve seen before, the basic structure of any store boiled down to 6 sentences.
Meanwhile, I’m in Salem, MA for the Writer Unboxed Unconference, about to go down to register and mingle. Had supper last night with the force behind the Unconference, Therese Walsh, her husband Sean, and other conference-goers I’ve only “met” on the Internet. I read Therese’s latest novel, The Moon Sisters, on the flight here and, once again, she made me cry. I’ll be writing a review later, but I’ll recommend it right now.
For what it’s worth.
