Plottr*: https://plottr.com/?ref=481
*I now have an affiliate link! If you use this to buy a Plottr license, I will get a portion of the sale. This does not affect my opinion of the program, and in fact I did not even have this link when I made this video.

I have a secret 🤫 In this writing vlog, I work on a novel project and share as much of the process as I can without explicitly saying what Im working on. A challenge but I think it worked!
*FYI, I said a tiny error in the vlog. The Blood Like Magic paperback is coming out in the beginning of July (July 5th) not the end

![Do I Agree with Pixars Rules of Storytelling [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EtRxg1sLgjE/hqdefault.jpg "Do I Agree with Pixars Rules of Storytelling [CC]
I decided to dive into some more of these lists of advice! This one is from a tweet thread from Pixars Story Artist. As a disclaimer, I do not think I know more about storytelling than Pixar, and I understand that it will be different in books than it is in movies, but I thought it would be fun to dive into these. Im sharing my opinion, but I hope that youll get involved in the discussion in the comments too!

*Note: this is actually NOT a Pixar short. Shows what I know lol. Its a Disney short. Pixar is a subsidiary of Disney, but this was not created by their studio. I think because Pixar does so many shorts, I assumed it was from them
