I have a soft spot for early beginnings and adventures that start in small recluse locations. What about you? Do you prefer high level epic campaigns or dangerous, beginner adventurer type premises?
Whichever it is, I still think meeting in a tavern is one of the best places to start!
Writers: It’s Not Your Idea That’s Valuable. It’s THIS. | Ben Garves advises aspiring screenwriters to focus on crafting a unique and compelling script rather than worrying about protecting their ideas with legal measures like disclaimers or registration. He emphasizes that scripts are optioned based on their quality, not on the writer's legal precautions. #film #indiefilm #filmmakers #production #storytelling #movie #shortfilm #director #filmmaker
On Florida’s Mound Key, the Calusa people harvested deadly burrfish—fish too toxic to eat. Why? New research hints at ritual, toolmaking, or medicine—but the true reason remains unsolved.

Warum machen wir diesen ganzen Bums hier eigentlich? Gibt's da ne Geschichte zu? Faschisten zu fcken oder Fakten zu checken reicht da nicht.
#NoKings ist in den USA deswegen so erfolgreich, weil es die Menschen an den Grundmythos ihrer Demokratie erinnert. Etwas, was uns in D fehlt, da kommt imho #Europa am ehesten ran. Oder die Internationale.
Imaginieren wir gemeinsam gg die Angst der #AfD (und #Merz) wie wir Leben wollen. Frei nach Blumfeld: wir sind frei!
Writing Is My Favorite Puzzle (And My Favorite Kind of Therapy)
Stories don't start with structure — they start with a spark. The rest is discovery. Continue reading on The Writing Cooperative »

Is This the End of Tarantino’s Final Film? | I think we all have faith in Fincher's ability to deliver a great story. He's also worked with Brad Pitt before. Maybe that means that this is darker than a typical Tarantino movie. But what does this mean for any future production from Quentin Tarantino? We don't know. >> #film #indiefilm #filmmakers #production #storytelling #movie #shortfilm #director #filmmaker
One of the reasons it's so hard to change is because so much of what we "know" is tacit. Conversation and storytelling can help.
After 9 years, today I am flying to Rome again! I can't believe it has been that long. I used to go every year during my university studies, for summer excavations. I love that city so much.
This time, I'm attending the Federation for European Storytelling conference, and the Raccontamiunastoria Storytelling Festival (including a Midsummer event!).
I am also remembering my grandma who passed 2 years ago. I once visited Rome with her. We had the best time.

A huge portion of online Greek mythology fandom is currently celebrating Odysseus as their favorite boi.
I keep wanting to bust in like the Kool-Aid man and tell everyone about Palamedes, and what Odysseus did to him...
(But since the Hades and Pesephone dogpile experience, I know better than to argue with the mythology fandom)
