The Single Ladies’ Guide to Time Travel on a Budget
The podcast, episode 6: What's your story REALLY about?
Hi friends! New podcast episode:
Episode 6: Get to the Heart of Your Story
Finding the deeper themes in your stories can solve both the “too much” and “not enough” problems. So let’s talk theme! To illustrate how to use “theme” as an editing tool, I’ll share a story about time travel, coincidences, and the transformative joy of performing medium-quality comedy shows after 10pm, in basements.
Ok I loved doing this episode because TIME TRAVEL! As a truly exclusive behind-the-scenes peek (no one has seen these except the 23 people who attended this show, and Producer Laura Boach!), I want to share with YOU a couple of the props from the solo comedy show that I talk about in this episode. The show was called “Causality: A Single Ladies’ Guide to Time Travel on a Budget,” and these props were created by my extremely funny friend Chris Isaacson.
This week’s prompts:
Choose one or two of your stories. Ask yourself: what is this story really about for me? Are there other things that happened at this same time that might relate? if you’re stuck, try telling it out loud to someone (see Episode 5)!
If you could meet 18-year-old you, what would they tell you? What would you tell them?
