studying kiki's delivery service 🧹a writing vlog

hello cinnamon bun,

we're trying something new in this one 🎀

as much as I love creating a story with the plot embryo, in this video I show how it can be used to reverse engineer the key elements of your favourite stories.

'kiki's delivery service' has always been one of my favourite films, but until now i was never sure exactly why. come along as I break it apart to find what pieces of this story resonate — and how we can take those pieces into our own work.

is anything "purely original"? how do we balance our creativity with our livelihoods? how can we lean into our influences and inspirations in order to shape our own projects with intention?

if these kinds of questions have ever crossed your mind, this one's for you. ✨
