STORYTELLING360 – STATE OF THE STORY Featured Writers at Storytelling360For 40 years I have been writing about other people and events. But recently, I realized the most important story I wanted to tell was about my past. So, I took a scriptwriting course but was still stymied. What helped me the most weren’t just the tips about techniques from books but the personal insights into my life and story offered by my teacher—a map to find my way through the forest.

Drop Dead City Drop Dead City Movie PosterThe New York City I knew in the late ’60s and early ’70s was gritty but free—where you could wander the streets, ride the subways, and run into Andy Warhol at Max’s Kansas City without much worry, aside from the summer heat and crushing crowds.

At the risk of sounding like a fan, I can honestly say that despite following Elton John from his first album to his last documentary, it wasn’t until I watched ELTON JOHN: NEVER TOO LATE, now streaming on Disney +, that I fully understood the artist and the man.
