Dan Wells on Story Structure, part 1 of 5

Hey folks, thanks for watching. Before you comment . . . yes, I'm aware that the intro and outro are obnoxious, and that the music is annoying, etc. Unfortunately I don't have the raw footage anymore and can't fix it. Despite that, I hope you can enjoy the content. If not, well, best of luck in life.

If, despite the flaws, you appreciate video, I would sure love it if you would support my writing. Search for S. James Nelson on Amazon. Thanks!

Thanks for watching. If you like the stuff on my channel, I'd love it if you bought my book: The Demigod Proving, available as a Kindle eBook at Amazon.com: http://amzn.to/nXMRbO.

Thanks!

Dear James, do you have your slides online?

Great talk by the way :-)

[S. James Nelson]

I'm not sure. I'll have to take a look. I'll let you know probably in a day or two.

[Renee Greene]

Can we lose the music background? Don't need it.

[S. James Nelson]

Unfortunately we can't. I no longer have the original video, and can't edit the music out.

[David Joseph]

literally just finished your first book; this was then followed by a google search which lead me to the above video, 1 down 4 to go.

[S. James Nelson]

Glad you're liking the video and enjoyed the book.

[S. James Nelson]

I've gotten lots of comments about the music before and at the end of videos. Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately I don't have the raw footage any more and can't fix the videos, but trust me that future videos won't have the same problem.

Dan's structure is the one taught by Syd Field. If you can find the video for Syd Field's Screenwriting Workshop, you'll have an excellent foundation for writing--and not just screenplays! Dan's videos help to fill out some of the points that Syd Field makes. The two together are a winning combo!

I'm still watching this video series years after it was uploaded, and also still listen to Dan and all on Writing Excuses. I've never had the chance to comment, but I just want to say thank you for sharing this.
