Former Pixar storyboard artist Emma Coats originally tweeted these storytelling rules: a mix of things she learned from directors and coworkers at Pixar, when listening to writers and directors talk about their craft, and via trial and error in the making of her own films.

I think it is a lovely infographic It can teach us a lot about building a story: regardless if it’s a blog, a novel, a presentation or anywhere else a good story is needed.

    I feel like I can always count on you for wonderful resources and, fun reads.
    I appreciate your wonder-blog.

    PS still have not crafted a fairy tail resume. I’m thinking about what you commented to me on my blog. Okay, It makes me smile that you are interested. That, and a little more willing to risk being real me. : )

    A resourceful list, indeed. Rule#7 especially resonates with me, as that’s something I never do. I start writing without an end in mind, and lose hope midway.
    You’re a curator of sorts! Well done!
