"There are OK stories, good stories, and then there are the stories that you secretly wish you wrote yourself. There are the stories that you will never forget, and stories that you often enjoy referencing or re-telling. Whether it is a teacher’s profound lesson that sticks with you, an artist’s perfect and haunting piece, or your best friend’s funniest party joke that can captivate any audience… What makes the difference between a tale that’s 'Meh', and one that becomes… Mythic?"     

           In answer to that question, Brooks offers up her throughline of creative and professional experience, research, and review, across the advice of esteemed teacher-writers, ad campaigns, and pro-songwriting in this workshop-turned-chapbook.
