On this day (May 25th) in 1977 Star Wars was released. At the time I was ten years old. I still have a very clear memory of convincing my father to take me and my three brothers and my mother off the ranch and cross country to Shaunavon, SK to see the movie. I remember that first scene where the...

For anyone interested in a quirky, occasionally chuckle-inducing and (at times) wildly off-putting discussion of character development, narrative structure and the art&craft of story-telling...

40 years.
That's a long time in my book, considering I wasn't yet alive 40 years ago. So, I could sit here and paint a picture of what it was like back in 1969, listening to the Mets make their championship run on the radio, enjoying the sounds of The Beatles in the background, letting my children...
