NOTES: Story Structure Architect (2005) Pt.2

Ways to Structure the Story

• Rollercoaster: Ups and downs
• Replay: Multiple characters recall the same event
• Fate: Climax first - flashback – climax again, and then…
• Parallel: Two storylines colliding
• Episodic: Theme related
• Melodrama: Family Tragedy
• Romance: Cinderella / Beauty & the Beast / Sleeping Beauty
• Journey: Major internal growth - awakening/rebelling
• Interactive: Branching like video games
• Metafiction: Playing with the form
