ADVICE

Begin With A Chronological Draft

  • Start your draft chronologically to use narrative suspense and make writing easier.
  • You can rearrange order later once the story's core exists.
ADVICE

Construct Story From Scene Blocks

  • Build your story from scenes that act as rhythmic units with clear beginnings and ends.
  • Group related moments into scenes and place them to create larger narrative arcs.
INSIGHT

Stories And Scenes Are Units Of Change

  • Stories are about change and characters are defined by how they change.
  • Scenes should show a character entering with one emotional state and leaving in another.
