Rules for Story-Telling: Pixar, Emily Coats:
Pixar: 6 Rules of StoryTelling
Rule #14 — Why must you tell THIS story? What’s the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? That’s the heart of it.
Rule #1 — You admire a character for trying, more than for their successes.
Rule #16 — What- are the stakes? Give us reason to root for the character. What happens if they don’t succeed? Stack the odds against.
Rule #15 — If you were your character, in this situation, how would you feel? Honesty lends credibility to unbelievable situations.
Rule #4 — Once upon a time there was . Every day, . One day . Because of that, . Because of that, . Until finally .
Rule #12 — Discount the first thing that comes to mind. And the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th — get the obvious out of the way. Surprise yourself.
Rule #7 — Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.

Advice for Conducting an Interview: Alicia Kennedy
"I’ve begun to add the question “How do you define abundance?” because the concept of “abundance” keeps working its way into my own writing—how we define it, yes, as well as how to cultivate it and how to reframe it in a world that tries to tell us abundance looks one way, means one thing."
"I want to honor the subjects that drive the guest’s life while also bringing something different to it, something less anticipated." Alicia Kennedy
