“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”

—Carl Sagan, Cosmos: A Personal Voyage (via)

Got the privilege of doing the new podcast art for my favorite writing guru, Matt Bird. The Secrets of Story makes Save the Cat look like it was written by an inept ostrich. And the podcast is an essential addition, made all the more enlightening with James Kennedy as cohost and word avalanche artisan. ;) Do yourself a favor and check out both. #podcastart #writingpodcast #writingadvice #writingbooks #writing #secretsofstory https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKwwdiBz01/?igshid=6p7bo40sufs5
