Good interview but I'd definitely drop the background music
Thanks for the feedback
Why is every word at the end of most sentences cut out? It’s really frustrating.
Interesting and informative interview. You asked great questions and made enlightening comments. Thank you
This was an insightful interview. Looks like A of G is going to be amazing on so many levels. I enjoyed you asking about the spiritual and philosophical aspects that theme conveys, and briefly touching on how these aspects of story subliminally transact. Looking forward to getting my copy soon.
great interview, really wish the background music wasnt there.
What a great Interview, so much information here.
THanks for the comment. John is so well versed in this subject.
You have to look over his book to better understand the characteristics of genres. It’s a fascinating insight into storytelling.
I have read a little here and there, as I like to do, and I find this book thought-provoking. For example, he sees the New Testament John, Mark, etc as a horror story!
I am not a writer...but it has always been a pipe dream of mine. I was always discouraged from writing by the lack of relevant how-to courses in college.
I have a background in philosophy and his philosophical to genre connections make a lot of sense. You can tell a lot about people by the genres they follow.
This concept refers to novels and screenplays but I wonder if it doesn't have some relevance in non-fiction. After all, some histories are the horror tale genre and some true crime stories read like good fiction.
Horrible audio all the way around. Breaks in speaking. Music just interferes with speaking, especially for those of us that have problems pulling speaking from background sounds.
It is, however, full of fantastic information. Thanks! And I'm picking up the books.
I really like many of these videos but I always laugh when they say "99% of authors do this". Did they really make a survey of all the authors or even a case study😂
Horrible editing.
Argggghhhhh, stop the lame background music. Interferes with dialog.
