Welcome to another edition of The Theme Machine. This week, we’re diving into a topic that’s been on my mind—how the people behind our favorite books and screenplays do it all. You know, how they craft stories that resonate with us, inspire us, and sometimes even change our lives. It all started when a friend asked me, ‘How do they do it?’ And now, here I am, sitting here thinking about it too.”
This week, I’ve invited some of the biggest names in storytelling to share their journeys. We’re talking about the process, the inspiration, and what happens behind the scenes when writers bring their visions to life. So, let’s get started with this week’s Theme Machine.
Join me as I chat with them about their journeys in storytelling.
