There is something exhausting/deadening about Robert McKee’s storytelling material. It discourages rather than encourages me. He clearly knows his stuff, and it’s all solidly thought through, but I can’t shake the sense that he’s missing the essence of what stories are to me.

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.

Make your list, then query academic indexs for cites on that list. See if there's a pattern there? Maybe there's a writers workshop in your future.
