Blackbird (SR-71) jet plane sketch for my dad's birthday card.

10/17-18/2023. Pencil sketch on cream colored cardstock. Colored with Copic markers, Copic Multiliner Brush-M, Zig Clean Color Real Brush, Daler Rowney FW acrylic ink "White" (with dip pen), and Daiso Water Colors (with a paintbrush). Because my scanner makes images too light and drab, I did some adjustments in Krita, to better match my sketch in real life.

"What would you tell small Max?"

"I wouldn't tell small Max anything because small Max was not worried about anything. Small Max was just loving life: driving quadbikes, go-karts, motocross bikes, having fun with his friends, not enjoying school. Honestly? That's the beautiful part of it. You shouldn't tell him anything and just let him live his life. I wish I could see myself with small Max. It was a good time."

me when the self-referential media has themes of control and/or freedom

[bluewoolf]

Do you have a method or strategy for outlining the entirety of CHNT/any story?

I’m bangin at writing scripts but big picture? Oof ouch me brain.

I can offer you a quick crash course on story structure.

If you're writing a story with a purpose and an ending, reference the three act structure:

Particularly, a beat sheet, which breaks down the components of the three act structure into notable, key happenings, which all work together to drive the epicenter of your narrative.

There's no single interpretation of something as fundamental as the three act structure, but the Hollywood standard for storytelling references the following sheet:

ACT ONE

1. INCITING INCIDENT - This incident starts the whole journey. It's the spark that lights the fire. In other words, it must be a critical occurrence. If this thing does not happen, the rest of the story doesn't happen.

2. HOOK - The beat which "hooks" the audience and makes them want to see more. Often it is a preview of the theme, the character's flaw, or the coming Plot Point One.

3. PLOT POINT ONE - The event which defines the main challenge the protagonist must deal with through the second act and leading to the climax. Whatever you set up in Plot Point One must be paid off in the Climax.

ACT TWO

4. CONFRONTATIONS/RISING CONFLICT/COMPLICATIONS - As we come to understand the characters, we also learn more about the challenges and raise more questions. The protagonist struggles against initial conflicts/challenges, which should be consistently escalating.

5. MIDPOINT - The stakes are raised in an unexpected way, leading to a whole new set of conflicts and deeper challenges for the protagonist. Sometimes it will be the moment in which the protagonist is challenged to fully commit to fighting back/pursuing their goal. (I like to think of this point as "the point of no return" in which everything the audience knows about the story is changed in some way.)

6. RISING CONFLICT TO PLOT POINT TWO - Conflict continues to rise, leading to Plot Point Two - sometimes referred to as the "all is lost" moment. Enemies are winning, tragedies happen, values are tested. The situation seems hopeless. This is the lowest moment for your protagonist.

ACT THREE

7. CLIMAX - The protagonist's final face-off with the conflict. The challenge and stakes that were set up in Plot Point One are confronted for the last time.

8. PAYOFF - The direct result of the Climax. The protagonist succeeds or fails. Sometimes it's more complicated.

9. RESOLUTION - How our characters are left at the end of the story, and a suggestion of what the future holds for them..or not if they're dead. In certain stories, the resolution may leave the audience with a parting question.

You also need to study the structure of a character arc, as it will inform your beats. A dynamic character meant to change will have the following characteristics:

GOAL - Motivation. What they want, whether it be something they're working towards, or something they already have and need to hold onto. A goal must always be actionable. FLAW - This is the thing holding your character back, and is either directly causing, relating, or contributing to the conflict. NEED - What your character requires to grow and change. Think of the “need” as the “solution” to the flaw. In most cases, the result here is often a theme in the story.

There's an abundance of reading you can do on this theory and over a million different interpretations, so it can be overwhelming what to listen to.

❗ I recommend Save the Cat as a starting point.

No matter how you approach it, you cannot skip out on beat structure. It's the thing that tethers your story to itself instead of getting lost in concepts, that centers your theme and engrosses the audience. Ignoring it or trying to subvert it for the sake of subversion will kneecap your story and have the audience going :
