One goal of my book is that people be able to watch a good movie or play, or read a good novel, and have a deeper understanding of how the story 'works.' Also, watch a bad movie and understand why it fails.

Then internalize that understanding.

Sounds good so far, I wasn't able to see the entire presentation since the video froze after only 5 minutes. Maybe my sattelite connection. Thank you Bill, I'll try again later. BTW, your book is high on my wish list, I'd lke to know more about it.

ive rewatched this video quite a few times (and visited the website) and im trying my hardest to apply its lessons as you've made a lot of good points that ring true

thanks for the very informative video

i hope i can do these lessons justice

storyispromise ... Bill, if you want higher viewership and subscriptions I think you should add: "Harry Potter" and "How to Write" to your TAGS. I've a number of accounts, so I've a reasonably fair grasp of the difference the correct TAGS can make. Sometimes the seemingly most insignificant TAG change, can change a mere trickle into a flood of visitors to your Channel! Your video is excellent quality and deserves full exposure. Hope you don't mind suggestion ... all the best!
