This is MJ, I'm an author, I'm an artist, I'm an analyzer.
You can find all my work at MJMunoz.com.
Welcome to the Introduction, Invitation, and Expectations episode of Story Over Everything.
This is episode 000, sort of.
Maybe it's re-000.
Anyway, I'm just going to go ahead and read straight from my notes and hopefully this
is all cogent and coherent and helps you know exactly what you're getting into, what I'd
like you to get into with this project of mine that I like to call Story Over Everything.
So Introduction, I'm MJ Munoz, I'm an aspiring author who dabbles in drawing and can't seem
to stop analyzing the world around me.
I'm passionate about good stories.
My taste is eclectic, but the stories I love are probably tied together by the human journey
of overcoming the self.
Cool Fights help too.
mvmunoz.com is the place for all my work.
I post my analysis, art, and fiction here.
Story Over Everything is a production, log, and development journal of sorts to give you
an insight into my creative process and spur me on to write more and finish ongoing projects.
The audio and video can be found here on mjmunoz.com.
A little bit of my background, I'm a self-taught writer, I'm a junior college dropout, and
I work for a small business in Southern California.
I have a beautiful wife and family and much of my time goes into them.
My faith is a foundational part of my life and very much informs my political perspectives
in my writing.
I recently described my massive Holy Heroes project as a combination of the Chronicles
of Narnia and Marvel Comics.
Superheroes, shounen anime, tokusatsu, and the best of Star Wars are my major fictional
influences.
I think all that woven together by the Bible will make for some amazing stories and I want
to share them with the world.
I invite you to join me every week for a fresh new edition of Story Over Everything, the
Chronicles of an Author, Artist, and Analyzer.
The SOE will alternate focus each episode.
Skimming Leaves is a sort of book of the month feature where I will be discussing a book.
I will let folks know what book is coming up and provide links to it and then give everyone
a chance to read it before I share my thoughts and feelings on it.
Story Machine Episodes will feature me sharing an idea, you could call it a story prompt
if you want, and then sharing my progress on the books I am currently writing.
The workshop will allow me to dedicate time to learning myself some writing craft and
share it with you.
And then Topical Episodes will give me a chance to focus on one or more topics in writing
that have caught my attention.
Expectations, full disclosure this is a reintroduction as I mentioned at the top of the episode.
Story Over Everything Episode 1 went way off the rails, clocking in at about 50 minutes
and sprawling beyond the scope of the segments of the old format of the show.
Story Over Everything Episodes 2-7 followed the same format as Episode 1, more or less,
but from SOE 8 on the show is different.
In fact it was not until SOE 14, which was just a few days ago, that I really found my
footing and figured out exactly what I want SOE to look like.
This is a production log after all so I will keep things as they are except the intro which
I plan to update as the need arises.
As I love a wide range of stories I encourage you to look around and see the various media
I have analyzed and see if any of it piques your interest.
I'll share one more thing before I let pre-recorded me do the canned outro that I have here which
is that I don't have a studio, I don't have a dedicated room.
I'm not a nomad, I'm not, but yeah I will alternately record in a quiet place, a good
place to record, I'll record while I'm walking outside and it's windy or it's not windy
or there's cars rushing by or I'll record in the car when I have the chance.
So the audio quality may be all over the place but I'm here for the story and I hope you
are too so if you can bear with that I think we'll be okay.
And that's pretty much it.
Other than, did I already mention all the other stuff that I do?
I don't think I did.
Well yeah I did actually so I'll go ahead and stop right there and let canned outro
me take care of the rest.
So until next time this is MJ signing out.
I hope you enjoyed that.
