First Cup of Coffee with Jeffe Kennedy

First Cup of Coffee - September 10, 2020

September 10, 2020

Jeffe Kennedy

I'm talking about story structure today: how the analysis can be useful, but also limiting; why the Black Moment isn't necessary, that dramatic beats are useful only so far, and how we need to internalize our art.

My podcast on GMC is here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/09/08/first-cup-of-coffee-september-8-2020/)
Leslye Penelope's podcast on the Black Moment is here (https://lpenelope.com/2020/09/revisiting-structure-my-imaginary-friends-episode-84/)
And the SFWA blog post (which turns out to be from July 2019) is here (https://www.sfwa.org/2019/07/30/translating-the-heros-journey-into-a-linear-plan/)

That Old Black Moment

2_15Want some GOOD news from the SFWA front? Really, there are so many amazing, talented members of the organization and I’m honored to be part of it. Several of us have put books on sale this week. A great opportunity to check out some excellent writing! See more here.

I’m over at the Here Be Magic group blog today, talking about black moments – both in our lives and in fiction.
