Today’s Writing Quote
”The term ‘narrative drive’ means writing so the reader/audience senses
something is about to happen — and it matters.”
— John Hill
Today’s Inspirational Video
There has never been a late night talk show host who could match the comic timing and sensibilities of Johnny Carson. Witness this classic exchange with Burt Reynolds. This is only a snippet. It went on for several more minutes. But notice how Carson tops the gag at the end of the clip. It’s also a good object lesson about the power of visual storytelling. No dialogue between the pair, yet tons of laughs. I find that inspiring!
