Happy Holidays StoryOsophers! First things first, thank you all for the wonderful messages of curiosity regarding where the heck Adam and Devin have been. To make a long story short, they both needed to take a brief hiatus to work on projects, and also wanted to focus on getting version 1 of Story Bluprint ready for launch.

In the spirit of the holiday season, we thought we would push the holiday movie breakdown episodes to the top of the list. 2022 will bring new episodes, the Story Bluprint app, and a new website with additional writer-resources and competitions…so stay tuned!

Happy Holidays!!
