3 Ways to Apply the 6 Elements of Story Structure to Your Novel
How to use one story structure tool to edit every part of your story.
The best story structure is the one you can apply to your story.
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been discussing a lot of story theory on the podcast. Today, I’m getting back to application.
In this episode, I’ll show you three ways to apply the six elements of story to your novel.
You’ll learn:
- How to apply one story structure to your story in three ways
- How I edit even the smallest moments of a story to make them punchy and exciting
- Two bonus ways to use this story structure
- And more!
One of my favorite things about this story structure framework? It works at every level of story.
That means that once you learn it, you’re prepared to edit your entire manuscript, your scenes, and more.
In today’s episode, I’ll show you how.
