Just found this series, and it's great! When discussing Rebirth, you comment around 5:25 about "a character who is dead in some way" and that immediately made me think of James Scott Bell's discussion of three types of death in his book Write Your Novel from the Middle. As a writer, I think I gravitate to rebirth stories, so I'm really looking forward to that discussion when you have time to finish the series Great work!

Cool! Thanks for watching! I’m looking forward to that one too!

Quint destroys the radio because he wants to confront and kill Moby Dick (I mean the shark) and not let some Coast Guard guy do the job for him (and thus steal his fate and his glory from him).

Astonishingly few views. For a sense of how powerful this is, it may not directly help you but try using it when understanding your friend's story that you want to improve and that's when you'll really see the insane power (or when coming up with a new story/ revising your own). Right now I'm playing with the Indian dragon Vritra as some kind of dragon of finance / hierarchy / general Malthusianomics and sabbath-rest as a prop-trader firm specializing in all kinds of magic.

Thank you for watching! I hop your story goes well!

I’m half way through the Voyage and Return video. It’s a fascinating plot type and I keep discovering more and more as I research!

Head = 1st Officer Spock; Gut = Dr. McCoy; Heart = Captain Kirk (often mediates and combines the knowledge from the other two to find the solution).

[@justinsmorningcoffee]

Exactly!
