Blockbuster Disasters: Storytelling Gone Wrong
Recently, I have seen two blockbuster duds back-to-back: The Creator and Napoleon. Each film had enormous potential but quickly lost the plot, and were examples of underwhelming world building. Don’t even get me started on the flawed character development….
Two videos are going to break down why each film failed its audience. Take these reviews as examples on what not to do as a writer. Storytelling can be difficult, yet rewarding when you truly hone your craft. These films had so much potential too. Sadly they fell flat by making quite a few avoidable creative mistakes.

Los Angeles Vacation
My husband and I recently took a trip to Los Angeles: City of Angels. We went sight-seeing at The Last Bookstore, The Getty Museum, and the Griffith Observatory. We also toured Warner Bros. and even had a frightfully good time at Knott’s Scary Farm.
Because we saw so many interesting exhibits, I thought I’d share a few of our best photos. Below are collages of our adventures. I hope you all enjoy them!
