Advice on good storytelling from Pixar
We loved this post about good storytelling from the geniuses at Pixar. Here are a few of our favorites, but check out the full list of 22 in the link below.
#7: Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.
#10: Pull apart the stories you like. What you like in them is a part of you; you've got to recognize it before you can use it.

Shop at Amazon, Put a Bookstore Out of Business?
There's been lots of chatter about Amazon's new marketing ploy: For one day last weekend, they encouraged customers to go into brick-and-mortar stores and use Amazon's price-checking app to see if they could get products for less on Amazon, and then offered them $5 credits on Amazon purchases.

Writers Welcome
It's the first day of the Daily. Welcome.
We have very modest goals for this blog: to be the World's Best Writing Blog (or WBWB, for short). What does that entail, or WWWBWBD (What Would The World's Best Writing Blog Do)? We think we have a pretty good idea.
