Hi Flyers:
In this teaching on story structure, we unveil the timeless blueprint that shapes all truly compelling narratives. From ancient lore to modern tales, structure forms the backbone of storytelling, yet it's too often overlooked in literary education.
We delve into the key elements of structure - the hook, inciting incident, plot points, and more - using the film "Cast Away" as a vivid example.
This talk challenges you to see beyond the surface of your story and uncover deeper truths that resonate with readers. Whether you're struggling with timelines in memoir or plot in fiction, this exploration of structure offers a powerful tool to elevate your writing and connect more deeply with your audience.
