Your<\/strong><\/em> turn to write. I will hand you the setting and characters, and a short refresher on narrative arc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before you pick up your pencil, check on the important parts of beginning, middle, and ending and don’t forget to make use of sequencing words (first<\/em>, so<\/em>, then<\/em>, next<\/em>, after that<\/em>, finally<\/em>) ….at least that’s what I hear they teach in 2nd grade these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting: a garden, an enchanted wood with a white giant guardian of the path, a clearing and a mysterious pond with golden flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beginning<\/em>: good for exposition: introduce the actors and the main conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heroine and her mother:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Middle<\/em>: rising action can enhance the conflict – surprises, complications, challenges….eventually getting to the greatest tension, forcing a critical choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A magic flower and a magical pathway that narrows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

End<\/em>: path towards resolution, implied change, punishment, reward. Or just a big gaping hole that leaves the reader wondering…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can watch Kurt Vonnegut explain<\/a> it with delicious wit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arcs have multiple and predictable directionality, as A.I. discovered by crunching<\/a> through thousands of narratives, in case you hadn’t already figured it out yourselves during a life time of reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heroine’s friend and her mother and father<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Rags to Riches (rise)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Riches to Rags (fall)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Man in a Hole (fall then rise)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Icarus (rise then fall)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Villains: A sneaky muskrat and a thief of the (golden)goose egg – loudly protested:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Cinderella (rise then fall then rise)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Oedipus (fall then rise then fall)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various supportive characters and sidekicks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
A Western Tanager strutting his goods
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A Whitethroat (warbler) planning the next move
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A very loud wren
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A red-winged black-bird, stumped<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A yellow-rumped warbler on the look out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A goldfinch in a sea of green<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Compose! Just make it a happy ending – the little heroine fell out of her nest in my garden. She deserves the fledgling in a hole<\/em> arc! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here is a gorgeous operatic fairy tale: Strauss’ Frau ohne Schatten<\/a> with English subtitles. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
