Neil Gaiman Teaches the Art of Storytelling MasterClass Review
Neil Gaiman’s MasterClass is the one I’ve been most excited about since it was announced. Neil has spoken endlessly in interviews about the art of storytelling.

Jodie Foster Teaches Filmmaking MasterClass Review
MasterClass doesn’t surprise me anymore. Obviously I’m pleasantly surprised whenever one of my writing or filmmaking heroes turns up as a Masterclass instructor.

Marie Kondo made bookworms butthurt the world over by saying that books were clutter and that your personal library should be limited to 30 books. Actually I don’t really know what Marie Kondo said. I didn’t watch her Netflix series “Tidying Up” because it sounds like a duller version of Trinny and Susannah. If your […]
How To Write 500 Words a Day (Every Day, Without Fail)

I was only going to check out the introduction to the Jimmy Chin Teaches Adventure Photography MasterClass before bed, something quick to watch.
