Say 👋 Hello to Your New Creative Edge

Join the Saturday Storyteller weekly newsletter & you’ll get FICTION INSPIRATION 🎆 – a Free starter pack of customizable writing prompts to get your creative juices flowing
Hey 👋 –
I’m Dave.
Since 2009, I’ve been obsessed with the anatomy of storytelling.
In 2015, I started to help creative writers at this site which has been recognized among WRITER’S DIGEST 101 Best Websites for Writers for my “insightful visual guides.”
During 2023, I’ve experimented with AI-powered breakthroughs to discover, develop, and implement ideas at a pace and standard that feels like a dream come true.
Readers have said the free AI FICTION INSPIRATION PACK is:
“Pretty frickin cool” and “Impressive!”
And students have shared my way of
“explaining plotting is the first time (they’ve) understood it”
because it gave them
“a handle on designing a plot framework and implementing it in a real and measurable way.”
If you are willing to try something new, then I invite you to join the Saturday Storyteller newsletter. Every Saturday, you’ll get personal, innovative tips on how to craft stories in the 2020’s.
Thanks all around,
David Villalva (Vee-yahl-vah)
