I take a film, book, TV show, game, podcast, comedy special - anything that involves storytelling - and I break it down to find the creative writing lessons we can learn from it, both the good and bad. Let's improve our craft in the most fun way possible.Copyright 2025 Jenny Nice Art Literary History & Criticism
