Friends, these are trying times.

You are probably anxious about the days ahead. This is understandable.

Perhaps, you can take a break and listen in as Barry and Aaron discuss the basic elements of a story: plot, setting, character, point-of-view, and tone.

Why bother? For one, we are all consumers of stories, be they written or on the screen. Knowing the composite parts of a story will make you a better consumer of fiction. Why else? Simply because you may need a break from all the bad news around you.
