Welcome to my new blog, The Art of the Story!
I will use this space to write about interesting examples of storytelling as I encounter them. I will focus mostly on animation, but will also be exploring live action and written works, including both long and short-form stories.

My intentions for this project are:

• To engage thoughtfully with books, TV shows, and movies
• To analyze story, mostly in animated works
• To enrich my readership’s understanding of story

I will endeavor to mostly, but not always, highlight positive and skillful examples of storytelling, as opposed to dwelling on the negative. While criticism can be helpful, I would rather uplift those that are doing good work, and not tear down those whose work needs improvement. After all, we’re all trying to do our best, but we sometimes miss the mark.

Thank you for visiting my page. Stay tuned as I add posts and expand this page.
