The Secret to Telling Powerful A Story | Ep. 271
Episode description
I've got a powerful storytelling tip to share today.
Back in my fiction writing days, I thought non-stop action made a great story. But I was missing something vital, which I found in Shawn Coyne's "Story Grid."
Here's the key: Every great story has two journeys.
First, there's the external journey, like Frodo's quest or Luke Skywalker's mission. But beneath that, there's the internal journey…the hero's struggle with identity, self-doubt, and purpose.
The magic happens when these two journeys mirror each other. As external action intensifies, so does internal conflict. The hero's doubt and self-discovery peak as the external battle climaxes.
Remember, it's not the explosions that make a story, but the hero's internal transformation.
For instance, when my fiancee left me, I was in a van with debt. The external struggle was clear, but the internal battle, questioning my self-worth, was the real story.
So, when crafting your stories, intertwine both journeys. It's a game-changer for connecting with your audience.
