It might not get picked up, but at least I'll have entertained that audience of one. Then who knows--there might be another brain or two out there that is tickled the same way as mine.Scott Tarbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733708211534719350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159889746040074317.post-8863243539074211002017-01-06T10:44:12.005-07:002017-01-06T10:44:12.005-07:00Love this.Love this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371117924517004453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159889746040074317.post-64279165359574404822017-01-05T16:42:00.516-07:002017-01-05T16:42:00.516-07:00Well said.

I feel the same ...This is a thought provoking post. I feel the same way-getting bored with movies and stories in general that all feel the same. I do have to defend Save the Cat, because it's the only way I make it through a novel. Without it my pacing would be abysmal, and I would probably forget something important, like a midpoint. The authors/writers themselves need to put in the depth. Theme, conflict, powerful prose, beauty in their story telling... There's nothing wrong with a template (we use them every single day for a thousand things) but that's all it is. Guidelines. Learn the rules, then break them. Try something new. If you want to write popcorn fiction, do it. If you want to share a deeper story with the world, you might have to dig a little.<br /> -Jo-https://www.blogger.com/profile/03994731857058276539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159889746040074317.post-77792636226426122392017-01-05T11:35:35.459-07:002017-01-05T11:35:35.459-07:00FANTASTIC!
