The Power Of Storytelling with James Dashner (Ep 29)

  What's it like to take a world in your mind's eye and not only put it down on paper but have it created into a major motion picture? Adam Nugent speaks with James Dashner. He's the #1 New York Times bestselling of Maze Runner. Learn how he finds inspiration for his books, how there's a special place for all kinds of creativity in the space, and what exciting work lies ahead!   FROM THE EPISODE: "Consuming storytelling is just how I get inspiration, reading books, watching movies, watching all the amazing television shows there are now streaming, and everything. Every time I watch it, I learn a lesson about storytelling, whether it be dialogue or just a cool image, or a character that will trigger something in my brain. I'll get cool ideas that are just kind of inspired by things I watch or read. So if I'm writing, when I'm in first draft writing mode, if I'm not consuming books and stuff, while I'm doing that, I can tell that my creativity goes down a bit."   More About James: jamesdashner.com James On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dashnerjames/
