inkstainsHere's something I've been meaning to share, and maybe on this wet Labor Day (at least here in the Eastern US), someone will have time to watch it. Dan Wells did a presentation on Story Structure that I really love. The link is to the first of five videos. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a transcript or subtitles, but if you're able to watch the video itself, I recommend it; I'm not a big video watcher, since I generally feel I can use my time more efficiently reading, but this one has things to see and things to listen to, plus some great examples.
If you can't or don't want to watch the video, this blog post gives the basics (and some other stuff).
So, if you watch the video or read the post, what do you think of this way to structure a story? Is there anything that was particularly a revelation to you or that you disagree with? And do you have any other structures to build a story on? Please share in the comments!
ETA: Apparently I screwed up my calendar notifications somehow and this is a day early. Well... er... that gives you more time to watch the videos!
And don't forget about contest 64, awards ceremony!
