THE BONES OF A STORY
Course Description
In this course we will examine the creation of a story from beginning to end, and will include an in-depth look at the basic starting point of the premise.
We will then cover the following:
- the seven major bones of any story, beginning with the premise
- designing the characters — hero, opponent and all the allies to create the web of the story,
- creating the world in which these characters live,
- the ups and downs of conflicts and resolutions,
- how and why has the hero changed.
- In addition, we will learn the key points that the story should touch,
- finally we will take these basics and transfer them into a chapter by chapter outline.
This story skeleton will enable the beginning writer a jump start in their skills, and allow the established writer to discover new abilities to add to their writing prowess.
