It was so good to hear this stuff in plain English from a literate, erudite writer who actually understands what he is talking about-and zero, absolutely zero fluff or flannel. If only all 'how-to' videos were like this.

Thank you for giving me a new word "erudite".❤

Glad to catch this live. After studying a lot of story structure over the years, I've realized that most of it is really more sophisticated variations of the old-fashioned beginning, middle, and end of story model. Like your concise synthesis of these modern plot paradigms.

Your video is definitive, I may have to watch it several times to take it in but it will be worth the effort. I am moving from a discovery writer to a plotter and need all the help I can get. Your video hits all the right notes.

I like what Stephen King says in On Writing, even if he doesn't always follow it himself. Basically the linear story comes first, not the theme or long descriptions of characters and places, or character studies or flashbacks, with easy to understand prose.

Great video. I would say that the Matrix fits the Hero's Journey really well. Although I liked the fresh perspective of it from the 3 act structure.

Jason! This was fantastic! I want to get back into writing and publishing. I have 70 books on Amazon now, but my peak was 2012-14 and now I earn just a few bucks a month. Most of what's out there was outsourced, and I'm a huge believer in AI so just looking at your website I'm thoroughly intrigued! I have a few novel outlines already but with my ADD I've struggled to fill in the details, so I'm gonna join your membership and start actually creating stuff again! Thank you for all your great work!!

I want to know which structure should I use romance story

@TheNerdyNovelist 2 ай бұрын

Look up romancing the beat. But you’ll notice that the steps are the same, just named something different for romance.

@denanebergall5514 2 ай бұрын

Gwen Haye's Romancing the Beat is great!!

@janasher4940 2 ай бұрын

While it's true that the steps are the same, it's not. Look at Save the Cat, then Hero's Journey, then other 'outlines' and you will see some similarities (they all tell a tale), but the genre will make some outlines fit better than the others. For romance, I would start with Romancing the Beat. I used it, but combined it with D.M. 24 Chapter outline. Your romance will have something else in it (?) like a mystery, or comedy, or ??? then look at the outlines for those genres and pull what you need into your Romancing the Beat outline. If it's your first romance, definitely use the standard for the genre and build out from there.

Romancing The Beat is a popular one, but, really, you can use any plot structure that you feel will help tell your story the way you want.

Hi, I have a manuscript I finished writing in 2018. It has been edited once by a editor and had beta readers go over it. I want to turn it into a screenplay. How can I turn it into a screenplay and which tools should I use that you are familiar with that can do it. I want it to save me time and nit take months to rewrite it into a screenplay. Thank you for your channel. I'm a new sub.

Oppenheimer was a yawn. Needed to be 30 minutes shorter. As a history graduate, it ran like a propaganda movie. I can see why many neo-liberals liked it, however.
