When weaving a story, keep “it” simple. “It” = story-structure.
One of my favorite stories is E. B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. This timeless tale has wonderful hooks, memorable characters, universal themes and a compelling yet simple plotline. Writers, I recommend your dissecting this book and your favorite books if you want to understand story structure for fiction or narrative non-fiction.
Cheers!
May your writing projects take on new form and new vitality in the new year!
