His new book Dialogue was better for me than Story. Got a lot more out of it and took extensive notes. Still, it was a slog. He’s apparently working in a third book on character.
Yes, I definitely liked Saved by the Cat. I have Vogler’s book, but didn’t get into it (I like the idea of Hero’s Journey sub field of narrative theory, but not the practice of it).https://twitter.com/shloky/status/1346601951933427712 …
I have a shelf full of books on storytelling, and I tend to use them more as a reference source for my thinking/writing about temporality than my own fiction attempts. So I guess I have a double-dip interest in the topic.
What I’d really like in terms of learning fiction writing? Make a list of my own top 50 books/movies/tv shows, then get a teacher who also likes them. But it’s rare for scholars of story to share my tastes. It’s more likely they’d want to murder me for liking the wrong things.
Lol adaptation is one of my favorite movies but 8ve only watched it once and missed the connection in the McKee-satire scenes (I think I didn’t know who McKee was when I watched the movie)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGaRKNY1Efk …
As I think I’ve mentioned before Keith Johnstone/Impro is much easier for me to vibe with, but it is unfortunately a much less complete model of storytelling.
McKee also reminds me of the fictional J. Evans Pritchard whose intro to a book on poetry Robin Williams’ character has his students rip out. That’s probably too harsh a comparison. I’m inclined to be generous re: McKee. I assume there’s more there than I’m able to get out of it.
