The story structure framework I use in every story I edit.
What do fractals and nesting dolls have to do with story structure? More than you might think.
Last week on the podcast, I shared my favorite story structure framework. It’s the same structure I use with all my one-on-one clients and in every novel I edit.
But I didn’t tell you why.
Why is it so powerful? Why do I use it in every story? Why do I love it so much that I’m still talking about it on the podcast?
In this episode, you’ll find out.
You’ll learn:
- Why mastering this one story structure will level up your editing on every level of story
- How this structure works for stories from romance to horror and everything in between
- What this structure has in common with fractals—and why that’s fantastic news for your editing
- And more!
If your story’s structure is feeling a little shaky, give these six elements a try. I think they’ll reveal powerful insights about your story.
