presented in Real Audio (G2)
"Writing with the Story Mind"
(available in CD or cassette) is the first in the "Practical
Dramatica" series of programs. This series focuses on putting
the Dramatica theory to work in tangible, easy to follow steps.
In this program you'll:
Learn how to psychoanalyze your story's
"mind" to uncover and treat problems with characters, plot,
theme, and genre.
Find out how to tell if your story
suffers from "Multiple Personality Disorder" and what to do
about it.
Invite your story to dinner and have it
tell YOU what happens in the plot.
Discover how the story mind's value
standards should be represented in your story's theme.
Learn how to be a "good
parent" to your story and let it be it's own person, rather than the
person you wanted it to be.
Narrated by Melanie Anne Phillips,
co-creator of the Dramatica theory and software, this CD is packed with
more than an hour of practical tips and techniques you can put to work
right away, with or without the Dramatica software.
If story structure has seemed like a
complicated hodge-podge of random elements, let Writing with the Story
Mind provide the overview that ties it all together.
