The Art of Giving Notes

Giving top-tier notes will make you a SENSATION at the function. You will have other writers clamoring for your attention. But when the script is actually in front of you, it's easy to overthink everything. Just remember, it is not as hard as it seems. You got this. 🌐Request notes on your story: https://www.jgscammell.com/ ✍️Check out my writing: https://yeshua.substack.com/ 📹Bonus videos on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Josh_from_xbolive\ ᯤ Spotify feed: https://open.spotify.com/show/24AHrJ6b1yA0V2WIfXt8KK?si=9f65d151f19c4485 📸 My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josh_from_xboxlive/ 🟠🟢🔵 My Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/vaeP CHAPTERS 0:00 You don't have to be that serious 1:28 1 Wait to be Asked 2:14 2 Know thy Theory 3:33 3 Ditch thy Theory 4:10 4 Yes And 5:52 5 Read Slowly 8:04 6 Be nice 9:55 7 Never Lie 12:52 8 Diagnose but don't Prescribe 14:49 9 Both Trees and Forest 16:18 10 Don't Beat Around the Bush #writing #writingcommunity #writingtips Learn more about your ad choices.

I barely scratched the surface on the "gender" aspect ("the active" as masculine, etc) and could easily do an entire video on that subject and the "Heroine's Journey." As always, THERE IS SO MUCH THAT CAN BE SAID... Please note: Marie-Louise von Franz in her book "The Feminine in Fairy Tales" complicates and questions the Freudian idea that "the ego is the hero of every story." It's obviously not so simple... 🌐Request notes on your story: https://www.jgscammell.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFhlU04xRmJEV0s3bzF0dkVON3JSUXJYNlRRQXxBQ3Jtc0ttSUJFaDJoMWlSX1ZDYjFJZ1U2al9GaXUyQ0J4ZWtNN2h5MVdjTXpMc0lUdkFZZTdoNUVNRnRHOHpKaWp5QktjMktsb0NXcUlCbzRleklQV2dSRWxpZnZ3b0ZhNUdVazJ4OHZyUDhZVEVuaXhMTnNuRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jgscammell.com%2F&v=hmRAi650s9A] ✍️Check out my writing: https://yeshua.substack.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbS10WjZYWVhWbE1DRW1FaV9ZQTd3V1k0c0hNUXxBQ3Jtc0ttNDlRSXVlUzFVa19mUTkyYTZHN2RqQm5vSjRnLWswazlXOGxxWlBXUG12TlZ3MEtTTHlxaVZfOU43ZjMyeERKR2FZREhkekdjbkNvLVIzYTd5bDlnYU1KWU81WkRMcjFkUTNHRDBKYXlZRzY3cDJYSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fyeshua.substack.com%2F&v=hmRAi650s9A] 📹Bonus videos on Patreon:   / josh_from_xbolive   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazdHM3RuTXVMRkQwbXk4VjQtMXRQRlFGX3pKZ3xBQ3Jtc0trdlJnWGlra3hlQmJKYzlQMEVYTzh0by1aWXBqQ2lEempuOEtMck9aRkpqSnJtejhRSUFNT1R6cHZYSDVHSFpiYTlBSWRodjU2a2JBM0tjNmFMdFFLblk4SUJWX1A2R0Rmd1hRc2NWSU0ybHdBYVZKZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2FJosh_from_xbolive&v=hmRAi650s9A]\ 🎙️My film podcast: https://linktr.ee/haventseenpod [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa202WjVDVmE2S2tiSEx0TDNiTWVVTncwR3JyUXxBQ3Jtc0ttZXVzdlRnQTUyZVlNNzRJWmxNSldTdmZaNDZzNm9ma2x2ZzNkbG14SUM1SU95TndTNTVwNDhiajFlX1AyRzZNWGJ6VlFleG9zY1dHX2wtRVREU3dQY0J5WWJ0R3F4UThmMFFONnROSjIwZGFHeHltOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2Fhaventseenpod&v=hmRAi650s9A] 📸 My Instagram:   / josh_from_xboxlive   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2RrWWV4bGl3RHJkY0JEY2xmRE1tdXcwOTdnUXxBQ3Jtc0tuOVNnTHZkZ05uWWxmeVZjX2lmLTJOZzMycWlvREd6UHJWSHdyUnBwcjdHOXJBRnR0aUVfLUpvTkZUbTRqTzJpRzFTTllweWRROU9DM3dLS2dVN2ZyN0wtRlJEWFVnRTNpQVdHX1pPMVEweU15Q3Fsaw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fjosh_from_xboxlive%2F&v=hmRAi650s9A] 🟠🟢🔵 My Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/vaeP [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUh4MUtyazFKT3lHazM5amE5T2o1cHZWcFVrQXxBQ3Jtc0ttQVgxeTJvLXM3TnZIUFcxMGlLM1N1aGI2eDNDSDNyZjQ2UTJjekgtZjFnT0Q2VDV6LTdoT2djb3dDWEJ6QV9wYWlWVVhiMVpOd1lyTWRaaEl3YTYzNHFUQV91dG5lbXhjTFBkV2xfeEtGN1FKXy0zcw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fboxd.it%2FvaeP&v=hmRAi650s9A] Learn more about your ad choices.

Is Padmé the Villain of the Prequels?

What do Carmella from Sopranos and Padmé have in common? They are both married to evil men. But are they victims of that evil? Or are they enablers of it?

STORY AS MUSIC

Writers! What is your relationship to music? Do you listen to music while writing? While daydreaming for new stories? Do you have a type of music you listen to while writing? Any particular playlists or artists? How do you view the relationship of storytelling to music? This video was absolutely MAULED by the copyright police.
