Ways to Think About Storytelling Structure [Lauren Groff]

Storytelling structure is often thought of in architectural metaphors: think Freytag’s Pyramid, or even Alice Munro’s house (“A story is not like a road to follow… it’s more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows.”) In this talk, we’ll borrow from a larger palette of metaphors to come up with more surprising — and possibly more helpful — ways of envisioning story structure.
