Day 1,948: Home Stretch
Entries have been short the past couple nights, but only because it’s a bit of the old brain overload after these long days PLUS watching a movie at night, and then doing homework.
Tonight we watched Gloria, which I guess was one of those critically-acclaimed well-made movies from an era that I never lived through (the late 70s/very early 80s) that just didn’t quite rise up out of that era into timelessness/classic territory.
It was really good. Not perfect, but solid. And it just made me thi...

Day 1,947: Hump Day
Day three of the SG editing training. We watched Star Wars tonight which was soooo much fun. I can’t wait tomorrow to go through it all for the Hero’s Journey breakdown. I’ve never actually done it from beginning to end.
Anyway, it’s late so I’m ending this one quick. Night

Day 1,946: Day Too
Day two of Ira’s mind-explosion tour 2019.
The Story Grid Editor Certification Training continues. I’m loving every minute of it, except for being away from Liz and the pups. And no, that’s not because I know she’ll read that (hi, Bear

Day 1,945: En Media Res
Day one of the Story Grid Editor Certification training…and I am all-in.
It’s amazing. A system by which to help a story be the best it can be. It’s not fuzzy. It’s not about intuition or interpretation…all that stuff is left in the realm of artistic license where it belongs. No, the Story Grid is about using the fundamental structures of storytelling to diagnose and fix story problems.
I’m so excited to learn more.
It’s time for me to sleep, but last thought: you should give a listen to Josh...

Day 1,944: Nash to the Ville
I have to make this one quick tonight because I need to hit the hay…but I’m in Nashville. First time ever! Well, really outside of Nashville in a suburb called Franklin…but I am here in the land of Whisky and Guitars.
I’m here to become a Certified Story Grid Editor. I’m so excited.
Podcast is done. My homework is done. Travel completed…I am exhausted.
I’ll have more to report tomorrow.
Night!

Day 1,943: Tentin Quarantino
Podcasting is kinda the sh*t, y’all. It’s so fun. I honestly recommend it for everyone. Who cares if anyone listens. You get the benefit of recording it…good discussions about things that you love. That’s just good medicine, ya know?
It’s crazy…I’ve been podcasting for 10 years. It’ll be 10 years this year. It all started with Fresh Produce, which was a music podcast I did weekly covering the underground dance music’s new releases. What a job it was putting that show together. I was so happy...

Finished *another* book and read through some reviews. Gold. Mines. All of them. Holy crap.
Anywho, more tomorrow. ‘Castin with J. Then hanging with T-Rex and Hupunch.
