The Head Start: Embracing the Journey

vor 12 Tagenvor 12d ago

Monatlich

We’ve all had a moment where we arrived at the grocery store and can’t remember passing any of the stoplights along the way. We’re halfway down an aisle and scrambling to remember what we even needed. Our mind is in overdrive trying to sort through our ever-growing to-do list. We’ve been there when just making it through the next task is hard. But the normal stresses of life aren’t the only thing YOU have to deal with. Nora McInerny hosts The Head Start: Embracing the Journey, a new podcast from iHeartRadio and AbbVie, a space to share open and honest conversations acknowledging the struggles we all face, while leaning into the hope and optimism we all share. We’ll hear from doctors, experts, and everyday people who will be sharing their experiences, migraine coping strategies, and major wins, all while building a community of support around an invisible disease that makes every day uncertain: Chronic Migraine.

Who is telling your story? Who are they telling it to? Why are they telling it? This is the Narrative Device! The Narrative Device consists of three main components: Author: The Author is someone who is capable of telling the POP premise as a story to shed light on the problem another person has. SAM: The Single Audience Member is a person with a problem related to the one the protagonist faces in the POP premise. Problem: A specific problem that the POP premise can shed light on.

What are Tropes and how can they actually help your writing? Tropes are a toolbox of common components to build a certain kind of story. You can put these building blocks together to create a story that meets the reader expectations for your particular GENRE. Most lists of tropes are a grab bag of story types and/or their components and aspects. They don’t fit together, so they don’t provide a process for consistently crafting scenes and stories that satisfy readers. In the Story Grid Universe, we provide this process by limiting the definition of a trope to a particular level of Story. Story Grid tropes are small story units that are the building blocks writers need to create the arc of change within scenes. In this episode, we start working through the Tropes for the short story EYE WITNESS by Ed McBain (https://amzn.to/3Q2UpqV).

Point of View: It's WAY more than 1st, 2nd, and 3rd 1:05:42

Is it first or third person? Past or present tense? As you'll see in this week's podcast episode, Point of View is about way more than this. See more here: https://storygrid.com/point-of-view/ A story’s global Point of View includes the technical choices writers make to deliver the story to the reader. The POP premise and Narrative Device suggest Point of View combinations that create the effect of the story told by the Author to the single Audience member. Person refers to the vantage point from which the written story is presented the reader. First Person: I (or we) wrote a story. Second Person: You wrote a story. Third Person: Alex (or she or he or they) wrote a story. Tense distinguishes the timeframe of the story. Past: I wrote a scene. Present: You write (or are writing) a scene. Future: Alex will write a scene. Mode: The final technical choice focuses on how the information is presented. This is the storytelling Mode. Showing is an objective and immediate mode that creates the effect of being present and observing the events of the story. Here are some examples. First Person: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Second Person: Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney Third Person: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin, Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín, or “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway Telling is a subjective mode that readers experience as if someone or something is collecting, collating, and sharing the events and circumstances of the story. First Person: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, or Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding Second Person: “How to Be an Other Woman” by Lorrie Moore. Third Person: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin, Animal Farm by George Orwell, or Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather Listen as Shawn Coyne, Tim Grahl, Leslie Watts, and Danielle Kiowski work through the Point of View for the the short story EYE WITNESS by Ed McBain: https://www.amazon.com/McBain-Brief-Ed-ebook/dp/B01KFBQEY4/ This is a Episode 254 of the Story Grid Podcast - https://storygrid.com/podcast…
