A much-needed blueprint for effective storytelling

Revisado: 02-02-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I have been involved in storytelling for years on a background level. Helping put on festivals, one-off events, and especially in my work as a museum curator and historian. So most of the first part of Six Second Storjes was review. Where it shines, and where it is an incredibly valuable resource, is in Rain’s ability to take an overwhelming amount of theory and science behind stories and create literal blueprints that anyone can use to craft their stories.

I blame my neurodivergence, but all the reading I have done about theory and story structure and everything else just leaves me more confused. “It’s simple! You just need a beginning, a middle, and an end,” they all say. I always read articles or books only to stare at my blank slate, unsure of what to do to apply what I just read. No one else I have found is taking all of that theory and breaking the process down in a way that had me putting together strong ideas as I was listening.

I am also in the process of starting a creative business. As I feel like I endlessly vacillate on whether to call myself a coach or a consultant (because I don’t think I will be “properly” either one), there is little forward motion. Rain shares his personal stories about struggling with his identity and whether to wholly embrace being an artist or an athlete, which may be a side story but helped me realize I don’t need to be completely in one box or another.

(I feel like I should disclose that I got a promo download in exchange for reviewing, but this is 100% honest and no one tried to tell me how to rate the book or what to say)

Sounds like it was recorded on a phone in a bathroom. Gratuitous use of swearing in the text. I'm not offended by language, but there's a point where it is unnecessary and over done. Mostly I couldn't listen to the recording though.
