What are some of the basic creative items to be aware of when starting a scene or to process when in the middle of the scene - I broadly cover that here. There is a link below to my substack where you can see the application of these elements in my own recent work.

Per viewer request, I dove into some Vladimir Nabokov texts as well as some of my students work and observations. He's definitely in my top 3 novels wrestling with Steinbeck and Richard Wright.

#onepiece #watchmen #brandonsanderson #mistborn #maus I've long wanted to figure out what the literary equivalent to One Piece's chapter covers stories would be. I've finally settled on some ideas and explore the process in this video. Join the Breaking Down the Page locals and let's talk writing and our favorite stories - https://breakingdownthepage.locals.com/ Check out my original fiction: https://open.substack.com/pub/breakingdownthepage/p/buoyancy-pt1?r=w0gxk&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

We sample some of Robert E Howards writing and talk about the origins of Conan and other pulp fiction works of Howard.

We discuss my favorite poem "In the Ring" by Howard and talk about his personal life, writing process and inspiration.

We're talking about Frank Miller's Sin City: The Hard Goodbye, book one of his Sin City collections. We read some inner monologue and admire the artwork.

I reread Old Man Logan after fifteen years and recorded my thoughts. I recorded my thoughts before I sat down to read it again. https://rumble.com/v2e672q-old-man-logan-pre-rereading-thoughts.html

I read Old Man Logan month to month when it was released in floppy form fifteen years ago. I recorded my thoughts and decided to lay out my expectations before sitting down and reading it again. Here's my thoughts after the read https://rumble.com/v2e67p8-old-man-logan-review.html

I finally finished reading David Nance's novel Triangle in this session. I start off by giving initial thoughts and expectations going into the final pages. https://www.amazon.com/Triangle-David-Nance/dp/B0BBXNPDHL/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1664910828&refinements=p_27%3ADavid+Nance&s=books&sr=1-1&text=David+Nance

David Nance found the time to sit down for a conversation after publishing his novel Triangle. We hadn't spoken since I'd finished my live reading editorial feedback on the novel. We discuss how watching my editorial reading helped and the process he used to finish the novel from there. We discuss cover design and plans for a sequel in the future as well.

Welcome to Breaking Down the Page. Here I detail my publishing strategy and give some details on what kind I stories I tend to lean towards as far as style and content. You can find writing samples at my substack - https://breakingdownthepage.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=substack_profile&utm_source=%2Fprofile%2F53769656-brooke-hennen&utm_medium=reader2 brookehennen@gmail.com

I'm looking for a Publisher, Editor or Agent and potential traditional publishing routes. I'm currently planning on releasing chapters from different books akin to serial publishing like that of novels published in newspapers during Melville's and Dicken's era. I enjoy the idea of releases a variation of chapters with book, chapter and subchapter numbers so readers can see where sections fall in the novel's timelines like grabbing different issues of a comic series but a store is missing a few issues. Or like when Blockbuster would send me tv season dvds out of order. But serialized independent releases doesn't have to be the way and would welcome a conversation about the traditional publishing route. I just want to know where literary publishing can go from 2022 and beyond. Hope I hear from you! brookehennen@gmail.com Writing Samples can be found on my substack - https://breakingdownthepage.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=substack_profile&utm_source=%2Fprofile%2F53769656-brooke-hennen&utm_medium=reader2

I'm a novelist and screenwriter looking for traditional publishing options. Can't say I'll be a great fit, but figure we can have a conversation. I lay out my writing and editing experience and general interests without going into plot details. brookehennen@gmail.com Writing Samples can be found on my substack - https://breakingdownthepage.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=substack_profile&utm_source=%2Fprofile%2F53769656-brooke-hennen&utm_medium=reader2

I'm a novelist and film writer looking for artists to collaborate with. I'm just looking to have an initial convo to see if there's potential. I'd love to make some comics (possibly utilizing crowd funding or using more traditional methods) but am looking for some illustration work for my novels. Potentially covers or interior line work. I'm interested in taking pitches doing an original project or adapting my own work into comics. brookehennen@gmail.com Writing Samples can be found on my substack - https://breakingdownthepage.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=substack_profile&utm_source=%2Fprofile%2F53769656-brooke-hennen&utm_medium=reader2

This is a discussion about my experience as an editor and writing instructor and how those two roles overlap. I've edited short story collections, a novel, several short film scripts and hundreds of student's creative and academic work from elementary through college age. brookehennen@gmail.com I interviewed David Nance on 10/5, and we discussed how beneficial my method of editing was to his rewriting process. This will by far showcase the quality of my editing and feedback to other creators - https://rumble.com/v1mtca8-author-david-nance-post-release-interview-about-his-novel-triangle-higher-q.html Here's a link to David Nance's novel, Triangle (released Aug 2022) and links to samples of the editing work I did for David last winter. https://www.amazon.com/Triangle-David-Nance/dp/B0BBXNPDHL/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1664910828&refinements=p_27%3ADavid+Nance&s=books&sr=1-1&text=David+Nance https://rumble.com/v1mmuuy-editing-triangle-by-david-nance-session-6.html https://rumble.com/v1mmxoc-triangle-by-david-nance-editing-session-7.html https://rumble.com/v1mmxag-triangle-by-david-nance-editing-session-21-final-one.html samples of my own writing can be found on my substack - https://breakingdownthepage.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=substack_profile&utm_source=%2Fprofile%2F53769656-brooke-hennen&utm_medium=reader2

Hi Adam, I just wanted to put something together out of appreciation and catch up a little since it's been a decade or so since we've last seen each other. I'm curious as to what you've got going on and if you'd be interested in a convo about potentially collaborating. excerpt samples from my novel work can be found on my substack - https://breakingdownthepage.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=substack_profile&utm_source=%2Fprofile%2F53769656-brooke-hennen&utm_medium=reader2 brookehennen@gmail.com

Hi Brandon, from one writer and college writing instructor to another I just want to say thanks and share at least one idea that came when listening to your lectures. I promise, there's no sucker punches at the end. Supplementary Teaching Sources - I was hired to edit the novel of someone I went to undergrad with over a decade ago. I read the entire book on camera and talked through every bit of his writing. There's some 24hrs of video. Below I'm attaching a post-publication interview as well as two of the sessions. While I'm not teaching undergrad at the moment, I would offer these to my own students, and having listened to your lectures, there's potential your students may find this helpful. I've been putting time into trying to deliver online lectures but got asked to edit this book. I also have a video I did reading and talking through Nabokov's "Good Readers, Good Writers".

This is Session 7 of editorial feedback for David Nance's novel Triangle. Breaking from continuing through the novel, I got back and take a closer look at sections from Session 6. I work through the text in more detail. https://www.amazon.com/Triangle-David-Nance/dp/B0BBXNPDHL/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1664910828&refinements=p_27%3ADavid+Nance&s=books&sr=1-1&text=David+Nance David Nance described this session in a text as "The #7 breakdown was almost agony. You're like a personal trainer telling me to crank out 10 more reps when my arms are already shaky. Those two chapters were painful to write. So much going on. So many details to choose which to focus on. I tried. But you're probably right that there could be more..."

This is Session 6 of editorial feedback for David Nance's novel Triangle. It's a readthrough/live reaction where I talk through several chapter and discuss my reading experience and giving editorial feedback. https://www.amazon.com/Triangle-David-Nance/dp/B0BBXNPDHL/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1664910828&refinements=p_27%3ADavid+Nance&s=books&sr=1-1&text=David+Nance
