It’s been two years (two!) since you last heard from The Story Spot. The hiatus is over. Now, with new vigor and newer appreciation for the value of reading, writing, and storytelling of all forms, we return with a gleeful vengeance.

Cheers to sharing knowledge about our treasured craft. Hurrah for sharing experiences about the storytelling life. Our virtual doors are open and flung wide as we look forward to new voices, new perspectives and to new collaborations.

Welcome!

FilmFresh.com. Now with Studio Blockbusters.

August 26, 2009

The amazing international film resource that is FilmFresh.com has recently partnered with some of the big studio players and relaunched. This is exciting news to those of us who are already addicted to their catalogue of hard-to-find international films. Now we can ditch those who shan’t be named for a smaller service run by true a cinefile, Rick Bolton.

There are so many exceptional films made throughout the world, and few opportunities to see them. That’s why we started Film Fresh. We collect great contemporary films from around the world and make them available to film lovers throughout North America at FilmFresh.com. On our Web site, viewers can discover new films, converse with interested viewers, and purchase films for home delivery, on DVD and via digital download.

What more could we movie-lovers want?

Visit the *new* FilmFresh.com.
Follow FilmFresh on Twitter to get the freshest releases first.

Blast from the Past

NaNoWriMo Approacheth!

Originally published on October 6, 2009

For those of you unfamiliar with the psychosis-inducing exercise that is National Novel Writing Month (inconveniently known as NaNoWriMo), behold. Every November, hoards of slightly *off* writers plunk down at their keyboards and legal pads hellbent on composing 50,000 words that will, with some luck, jell into the beginnings of a novel.
