Story Love - The Offical Podcast of writingXstructure Amanda Moresco

What a joy to have Kam Kahn with me this week talking about some amazing things like finding the time to write while having a full time job, handling racism in casting choices and creating 1497.org to battle against the gatekeepers who told him and many other South Asian artists to stay in their lane.

This week I am sharing with you a replay of what exactly goes down every Friday at 10 am est on the clubhouse app!  Each week I get together with a bunch of other writers who love to talk story and help people with their screenwriting problems. These are some of the best conversations I’ve had on film & television! 

Here is a link to the replay on Clubhouse  where you can see all of the fabulous people I'm speaking with - you don't need the app to view or listen:

Joyce Simmons is one of the best world builders I've come across! Listen in as she describes her process of building worlds and the best way to tap into what your heart is calling you to write!

Joyce mentions  Jordan Ifueko  and her book Raybearer. It took 12 years to write.  In this book she conceives 13 distinct kingdoms. Next-level world building!

A note from Joyce:
It only took her 9 months to write the sequel entitled Redemptor, probably because the world was already built but she did build an underworld in this book. The underworld is a common theme in African inspired storytelling. African cultures hold the belief that the two worlds cross back and forth a lot and just as there is no finality to life, there is no finality to death.

 Here’s Jordan’s Instagram page. Note that she’s in her twenties!
