Please forgive the 2nd promotion in less than a week, but I have much ado this February …
My latest compilation of articles, Narrative First Volume Two is now for sale over at the Narrative First store. The bundle comes with Kindle, iBook and Nook versions so you can happily read about Main Character Growth and Story Prerequisites on your favorite eBook device. There is a new introduction and I made some effort to clean up what I have written in order to make it presentable and lasting.
Professional screenwriter James R. Hull works as a story consultant for major studios, accomplished directors and professional screenwriters. His practice and knowledge enables storytellers to unlock the secret code of their own work, decreasing the amount of time needed for rewrites and minimizing studio notes to practically nothing. In addition, his screenwriting workshops and classes at the California Institute of the Arts teach writers of every experience level the fundamentals and practical application of a powerful new perspective of story.
In Narrative First Volume Two, Jim continues this education by extolling the virtues of thinking deeply about your story before you start. Getting to the heart of what you want to say and structuring it effectively is an easy process, if you understand how narrative communicates its meaning. Learn to plug story holes and fix broken stories from one of the experts in the field.
More volumes to come (though I promise it will take me more than a week!). Thanks!
