James Preller's Blog

This blog post — about the original “Raiders of the Lost Ark” story conferences between Steven Speilberg, George Lucas, and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan — is about as fine an example of Good Blog as anything I’ve come across lately. A link to something wonderful, excellent layout and images, insightful writing, big effort: Good Blog!

So if you care about story . . .

Or if you wish to write . . .

Or if you like movies . . .

Or if you are a writer, an editor, or a reader . . . GO HERE.

I especially love the first lesson, the emphasis on character. Because it always begins with character.
