Summary

Story by Numbers is a step-by-step, deep dive into story structure that will take your story from an underdeveloped storm of ?cool ideas,? to a slick, compelling work with fully dimensional characters. It uses the protagonist?s inner conflict as the guide to developing plot points and meaningful conflicts. It takes an irreverent, hands-on approach to story and character development in three parts: Part One tackles the infamous 4 Act, 8 Sequence, 24 Plot Point structure presented in the Anatomy of Chaos Series ; Part Two is a 35 Question Guide to interrogating your story and organizing it into a compelling structure ; Part Three is next level, dope shit to think about as you?re developing your stories. Story by Numbers guides you through a vivisection of your story and helps you find ways to trim the unnecessary stuff, while fleshing out one dimensional characters.
