A hat tip to Chip Street:
Sure enough, the Friday edition of Pop Culture Happy Hour featured The Protagonist’s Journey. And oh yeah, this little movie called Nope. You can listen to the episode here.
Special shout out to South Carolina Public Radio for picking up the segment and even including a HUGE PHOTO of my book.

This week, NPR released its list of the best games of 2022 so far, quidditch rebranded itself as “quadball,” and J. Lo is now Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
Here’s what NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour crew was paying attention to — and what you should check out this weekend.
The Protagonist’s Journey: An Introduction to Character-Driven Screenwriting and Storytelling
I don’t think I can talk about Beyonce’s “Break My Soul” anymore without getting mad, so I moved onto a book I’m enjoying called The Protagonist’s Journey by Scott Myers. It’s an introduction to screenwriting and storytelling led by character-driven narratives.
The book is very simple and easy to read, but it also provides a lot of thoughts, especially if you’re in the middle of writing and get stuck. You can just flip through the pages and be given great ways to generate some new ideas.
Myers is an incredible writer who’s worked in Hollywood for about 30 years, so to have all that knowledge in one book is very enjoyable. — Joelle Monique
