There are some great comments on the Story2Oh! blog which include some heartwarmingly creative use of swear words. Delightful. And this nice post on eating sandwiches, which is a really great name for a blog and makes me want to change my dinner menu.

I’m a little bummed right now. Facebook deleted Simon and Ali’s profiles this afternoon which is kind of depressing but it was inevitable. The whole story is over on the Story2Oh! blog.
Anyway, it’s all about cheering me up right now.
One way is to go over and read Denis’s post on the subject again because I […]
I’m presenting Story2Oh! tonight at CaseCamp. CaseCamp is a marketers-meet-technology forum in which four cases are presented and discussed.
On tonight’s bill: TD bank, RedFlag Deals, a cool little YouTube project to help with Sick Kids fundraising and of course, my dirty little storytelling project.
There are a bunch of rules for how to present to […]
I checked back through Joss Whedon’s body of work. And guess what? The guy always writes in 4 acts, although usually with a teaser up front.
Here are some stats:
Buffy: teaser and 4 acts (pilot and regular episodes)
Angel: teaser and 4 acts (pilot and regular episodes)
Firefly pilot: teaser and 7 acts (2 hours)
Firefly episodes: […]
There’s a comment thread on Whedonesque – the Joss Whedon fan site — about my post about Dollhouse and the fact that the script is written in four acts. I’d leave a comment there but you have to sign on to do so. I tried to join but the site is not accepting […]
Joss Whedon’s pilot script for his new series Dollhouse is fabulous. I can’t wait to see the series and find out what happens next.
I’m not giving anything away — or at least I’m trying not to so I’m sorry if this reads cryptically. Dollhouse is genre — sci fi. As usual Whedon […]
Rob Mills put me onto this one too.
According to NewTeeVee, the two guys who made Kate Modern and Lonely Girl 15 formed a company and raised $5 million on the claim that their two series have drawn 150 million views.
NewTeeVee characterizes these two web series as
some of the best examples of entertainment that truly uses […]
Go take a look at Penguin’s site We Tell Stories. It’s home to some very interesting examples of digital storytelling. The concept of the site is that six writers took six classic novels and retold them on the web using the tools available.
The first of the stories, 21 Steps, is an homage to the classic […]
The Writers Guild of Canada hosted the Canadian Screenwriting Awards last night and it was fabulous. But the guild hosted another event over the weekend as well: the National Forum, an annual gathering of writers from around the country to review the past year and look ahead to the future of writing.
Two guests on […]
Last week nearly 60 writers crammed into a room intended for 40, to watch episodes of pre-teen sitcom The Latest Buzz and hear what creator/showrunner Brent Piaskoski had to say about making it. Brent is tall, good-looking and low key but very funny. He is also very certain about his vision for the show […]
