Catherine Ann Jones. The Way of Story
Отрывок из книги
“I couldn’t get to sleep and found myself reading it without stopping — not only because of the wonderful information on craft, but because it really is ‘your journey’ and sprang from your life experiences! The Way of Story is quite amazing and you have much to be proud of, while we, the readers and students, have much to be thankful for!”
— Kathie Fong Yoneda, Paramount Studios, author of The Script-Selling Game

There is never one single road to Rome. Imagine someone pitching the film, My Dinner with Andre, at a studio today. The story? Well, these two intellectuals have dinner in New York City. What happens? Well, they just sit at this restaurant and talk and talk and talk. Had My Dinner with Andre not been an independently produced film, I doubt it would have ever been made. The result is glorious, as many exceptions are. Never forget that to write expe- rientially, not cerebrally, is the way of story. You may never know where your story will lead. Yet, if you feel passionately about a story, follow it, and it will take you home. Then, if you work hard enough and the gods smile, you may experience the deep pleasure of reading your own work as if for the first time, wondering where it came from!
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
