Started Writer's coffeehouse support group for writers, now it's in 19 cities.

Got advice early on from top writers. Ray Bradbury gave him ten rules for writers.

He was son a a KKK leader. We discuss how it affected his life, how he recovered, how others who have bigoted, racist, hating parents can recover.

He learned his values from comic booksCaptain America, Fantastic Four and Black Panther (his talking about this landed him role of writing for the Black Panther comic book)

What is a framing story?

What is run of the comic?

What are the messages in VWars

Scary crispr gene editing

His favorite book, I Am Legendnone of the three movies based on it really did the job.

He used to teach martial arts, including teaching women, people with disabilities and the blind. Now, he does it through storiesshowing how people facing great odds find the strength to stand up and fight with eyes open to the truth. 

For example, his Joe Ledger series

How does bottom-up apply in his workstudy folklore to learn how different countries and cultures describe myths, like vampires.

Do a search for "topic name" and the word "expert"

Go to folklore departments in universities and ask for help

In California there's the Science and Entertainment Exchange.

Lincoln founded the Science and Technology exchange in 1863.

Three questions to ask experts:

   Who else should I talk to?

   What don't I know enough about your field to even ask you?

   What is the weirdest, strangest, most interesting thing happening in your field?

So, I go for it and ask Jonathan the second and third questions:

What don't I know enough about your field to even ask you?

Writing is not competitive, most really successful writers are happy to help beginners.

What is the weirdest, strangest, most interesting thing happening in your field?
