The clues to story telling

-
I've been avidly waiting for the release of John Carter. In fact, if I'm honest, I've enjoyed most films directed and written by Andrew Stanton (Wall-e, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo) so when I came across a talk by Andrew Stanton on  his approach to story telling, I was delighted.

You can find this thoughtful and informative speech on the TED site by visiting this link. Enjoy.

    I read an article in Wired about this movie as well, where they interviewed Stanton about the process of developing the script. Despite the Disney heading, I think it'll be great considering--get this--MICHAEL CHABON got involved!

Taking location inspiration from real life

Real life doesn't just have to provide inspiration for our characters. It can also feed into the locations we use in our writing. This is the school I attended between the ages of seven and eight years old. This photograph, and more of the interior, was kindly taken by an old school friend. I always loved this building and now it has provided the inspiration for Darkacre School in my novel. Photograph taken by Dan Howard of 500px.com York Minster (from my home town) was the inspiration for the cathedral where Rex Haven's funeral takes place in my novel. Taken from www.rightmove.co.uk The terraces of the South Bank area of York, where I lived for a time, are the streets of the old town in my novel. The details don't have to remain the same - we writers are tailors of imagination after all - but basing our story locations in reality can add a grounding element to our writing that convinces our readers.

Her stepchildren will lose their home, William the butler has no choice but to emigrate and who knows what she has in mind for the gardener? Can anyone stop her?
