Hey, Saturday folk, good day. I've been asked on 4 occasions in the last couple of wks why I don't worry when I teach/talk storytelling. I say I love what I do so it's easy and that's true - but also I use the same 7 rules for teaching regardless of the age grp I'm working with
I call them the #SevenSignposts (markers by which to direct your writing)
1. All Time
2. Inevitable
3. Changed or challenged
4. Rules Schmules
5. Characters' Own Language
6. Everything Working
7. No perfection
I'll break them down in detail in this thread. 🧵

All Time: Before you begin to invest effort in writing out your story, think about this. All stories
begin at the beginning of time and end at the end of time; Now ask your self this question: If all stories cover all time, why must this story I
am about to tell be told?
