Dave Chappelle is a master of the storytelling and joke telling craft.

I attempted to analyse his style as the Closer trends to applause and outrage alike.

This is an audio recording of my blog: https://binatisheth.com/blog/thirteen-reasons-why-mr-darcy-is-the-original-prince-charming/

Characters are remembered over plot.  Let's take one such character from the critically acclaimed Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.   Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.  Mr. Darcy is often cited as one of the best, male romantic leads written, ever.  This young, handsome, rich and honest guy struggles with prejudice and has truckloads of pride. Yet somehow, people fawn over him. Why?  Why has Fitzwilliam Darcy (that's his actual first name) stood the test of time and morality where many have failed?  We have theories.

Fiction writing practice can be easy.

Yes. It. Can.

If the plot and the characters already exist, all you need is POV, who is telling the story, what time it is placed in and how long/short it is.

Today, I have Nada Abdelhadi, MS with me to illustrate this point. For instance: She'll discuss a manga and I will discuss an anime. These two were highly grossing works of art in their respective genre simply because both explored unfamiliar (to the region) mythology and made it accessible to the audience. 

If you are an aspiring writer, you have to start writing somewhere. Maybe start here!

Mythological stories literally stood the test of time. This live isn't about mythology though. It is about fiction.

Many writers, modern writers took history and mythology that exists. Many of these stories are popular. Whether it is Circe, Achilles or Lord Shiva, people know these stories already. What more can be done here?

Well, three examples of what was done:

1. Analyzing the social and mental toll of being a deity (and a child of one).

2. Heroes are so much more than the stories of their heroism.

3. The process of deification. 

Learn from the masters. I cried a lot while reading the Song of Achilles. Why would a pro-peace person cry for someone whose name is synonymous with war? Storytelling!

This book is one of those books that primarily shows up on every successful person's reading list. The hype is real. ::rolls eyes and gets transported to the astral realm::

I picked this book up because why not!

It been an experience.

I discuss 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Paramahansa Yogananda.

Disclaimer 1: I am an atheist (don't come at me; these things are personal choices. If me saying this annoys you, learn the basic tenet of religion which is love and respect) who will mention the movie Interstellar and bring in Naruto as I discuss this book. S.T.A.Y. ::chokes up with emotion::

Disclaimer 2: I liked this book. I truly recommend this book. Read it at least once in your life.

I will not do a chapter by chapter summary with this one. I want you to read this book in full; no shortcuts.
