Quirky Fridays

Star Wars is one of my all-time favorite movies. Not only for a young Hans Solo, but because of the classic hero’s journey story arc it portrays. Chris Vogler’s book, The Writer’s Journey, is one of my number one research sources for structure. In the first edition he did a detailed breakdown of Star Wars.

Chris gave me permission to quote his stages of the hero’s journey in my first book. I am forever grateful. In return, I sent him this link to an amazing video. He got a kick out of it.

His next book is out now, Memo From The Story Department. My copy is on its way to me. In the meantime, take a look for yourself at this movie epic below.  You’ll never look at a grocery store the same way. Once again it’s Quirky Friday. May the veggies be with you!

Quirky Friday is here again and I am being overwhelmed by techno gadgets. Some gadgets work, some gadgets torture.  To demonstrate my true feelings about technology gone bad, check out this cute video.

Imagine the old school apples are computer gadgets and I am the kitten. Got any computer horror stories? May the fur be with you! Have a great weekend!

Writers observe, watch and interpret. Like spies. Part of the fun is enjoying all the wonderful antics and adventures we see all around us. By Friday, everyone needs a laugh. So Quirky Fridays will be part of this blog. Stop in and see my favorite weird and wacky things to give you a smile or maybe a laugh.

To start off this feature, I have to play my all-time favorite YouTube military video. These British lads did it right. To get the “back story” on this video as we say in the writing biz, check out my web site’s favorite video page at http://www.warriortales.com/warriortalestv/favvideos.html  Got a favorite military humor video? Cat video? Let me know about it. Remember, this is a G Rated blog. Have to keep it clean for those young writers too!
