\"Master<\/a>The Master Storyteller Method<\/a> has four parts:<\/p>\n

Part One: Create A Story World<\/p>\n

What is a story world? Think: the world of Harry Potter or the Star Wars universe. Whether you are planning a single story or a whole series, creating a diverse and detailed story world will enrich and inform each story you draw from it.<\/p>\n

Part Two: Draw Out Your Storyline<\/p>\n

While a story world describes the environment, situation, and issues that will define your story, it is not a story itself. Drawing on this material, you will create a storyline for your Main Character \/ Protagonist that will begin with something that upsets the status quo, follows a quest (both personal and logistic) and concludes with a choice that will determine success or failure.<\/p>\n

Part Three: Incorporate Story Points<\/p>\n

Though your storyline may make sense and feel as it it touches all the bases, often a number of important story points may be missing, hidden behind the passion of your storytelling and vision. Here you will refer to a complete list of essential story points ranging from the goal of the protagonist to the issue at the heart of the story\u2019s moral dilemma to ensure that every crucial dramatic element is not only included, but fully integrated into the natural flow of your story.<\/p>\n

Part Four: \u00a0Refine Your Structure<\/p>\n

Even if you have every essential story point represented, it does not necessarily mean that they are all working together toward the same dramatic purpose. In this part of the Master Storyteller Method, you\u2019ll plot your story points against a unique structural template to determine where some of your dramatic elements may be working against each other or where holes and inconsistencies in your structure may exist. You\u2019ll have the opportunity to choose which story points you\u2019d like to adjust to make your story more structurally sound and which you wish to leave as they are because they work so well as is at a passionate level.<\/p>\n

By the time you have completed the Master Story Method, your story will be passionately expressive and structurally sound. Your characters will be compelling, your plot riveting, your them involving, and your genre not quite like any other.<\/p>\n
