Today’s Writing Quote
“Each writer starts differently,
but the only valid way is start with character.
Character IS plot.
Character IS story.”
— Eleanor Perry
Today’s Inspirational Video
Joseph Campbell was born on March 26, 1904 and to celebrate his birthday, check out the conversation in the video above with one of the great thinkers about Story, Creativity, and Life.
Campbell said: “Follow your bliss. The bliss is the message of God to yourself. That’s where your life is”. As writers, we follow our bliss every time we sit down to engage our stories. In that enthusiasm, we come alive.
