Though new articles have been slow in coming here on scribbler, please check out my most recent article published in Creative Screenwriting Magazine!

Gut Reaction: Visceral Storytelling, Part I

The article introduces the cinematic audience's three levels of psychological need; the intellectual, the emotional, and the visceral; and then uses a popular theory on human brain evolution to explain why this is and why, among the three needs, the visceral is most important when it comes to providing an exciting and dramatically-satisfying story experience.  A must-read for any dull script that cannot seem to grab reader excitement in the way it should.
