16.52: Structure is a Promise Writing Excuses
-
- Fiction
Your Hosts: Howard Tayler, Kaela Rivera, Sandra Tayler, and Megan Lloyd
The structure you're using for your story isn't just helping you organize your plotting. It's telling the audience what's going to happen. Story structures make promises to audiences, and these audience expectations are, in large measure, outside of our control.
In this episode we talk about the expectations set by various story structures, and how we can make sure we use our structures to satisfy our audiences.
Credits: This episode was recorded by Marshall Carr, Jr., and mastered by Alex Jackson
Liner Notes: We've done episodes on the M.I.C.E. Quotient, Seven Point Story Structure, The Hollywood Formula, and many, many more of the structures mentioned in this episode. We haven't done any on Kishōtenketsu, but we probably should!
