Your reflections on the art of storytelling are refreshing and direct. I appreciate the focus on learning from the source rather than how-to guides. The collection of essays you’ve compiled offers practical insights for any creator.

I’ve enjoyed looking back at some pieces I’ve previously missed here. Thank you. I particularly enjoyed the art pieces on Norman Rockwell and Artemisia Gentileschi. “It feels like a Biblical buddy comedy starring Aubrey Plaza and Rebel Wilson” is officially my favourite quote of the day, but in all seriousness, juxtaposing Gentileschi’s painting with the other interpretations lends it so much power. It is a work of real storytelling, which the others are not. Likewise, the positioning of the viewer in the Rockwell painting really made me sit up and think.
