Free Story Structure Chat on Skype - Friday, July 25th

I’m holding a free one-hour chat on story structure this friday evening from 7 – 8 pm. PDT on Skype.  For me, this is to test the system to see if I can hold paid classes in this manner.  For you, it is a chance to ask any questions or bring up any topics on story structure and discuss them with the creator of StoryWeaver and co-creator of Dramatica (me!)
This chat is limited to the first nine respondents, so email your request to join to classes@storymind.com.  I’ll let you know if you made the cut, but if you didn’t, don’t worry because the paid classes (and they won’t be very expensive) are coming soon!

Definitive Scientific Article on the Dramatica Theory

Here is a link to the definitive explanation of the Dramatica theory (in PDF) from 1993, that explains all of the key concepts in text and graphics, including descriptions of non-story uses of the psychological model and the functioning of the model in terms of the dramatic circuit created by Potential, Resistance, Current, and Power (Outcome) and its relationship to the prediction of temporal story progression in terms of a quad-based 1 2 3 4 sequence.
