Free Story Structure Chat on Skype – Friday, July 25th

I’m holding a free one-hour chat on story structure this friday evening from 7 – 8 pm. PDT on Skype.  For me, this is to test the system to see if I can hold paid classes in this manner.  For you, it is a chance to ask any questions or bring up any topics on story structure and discuss them with the creator of StoryWeaver and co-creator of Dramatica (me!)

This chat is limited to the first nine respondents, so email your request to join to classes@storymind.com.  I’ll let you know if you made the cut, but if you didn’t, don’t worry because the paid classes (and they won’t be very expensive) are coming soon!

My dad has passed on….

For those who don’t yet know, my father, John Phillips passed on last Saturday morning just after 5:00 a.m. after a months-long battle with cancer. It was tough for him but the end came peacefully. He was a great man and lived a noble life, right up to the end. He taught me how to look at the world and, even in his death taught me more about how to live. He was aware and pleased that he was about to have a new great grandchild who was born, as you also likely know, the very next day. And so, at the end of the dark days, a little light came into our world. I am so very thankful for the most wonderful father I could imagine, and for the most wonderful grandson with whom I have been blessed.
