Not sure what a Storyclock is? Learn all about it here.
Writing is the worst.
Picture your story like a clock.
If you're writing a two-hour movie, thirty minutes falls at the 3:00 mark, sixty minutes at the 6:00 mark, etc.
If you're not writing a movie, you can use page or word count instead of a timecode to help pace and keep track of your story beats.
Drop ideas where you think they belong.
Seeing your story this way can quickly give you a bird's eye view of it, and reveal where your gaps are.
Use symmetry to fill the gaps.
What's happening on the other sides of the clock? Anything you can set up or pay off?
Organically grow your story.
It's a simple and effective exercise to fill the gaps in your story with relevant and meaningful material, born from what you already have.
Not sure where to start?
Research other stories first . . .
The first half of the notebook is designed for studying the structure of existing movies.
. . . then develop your own.
Use the second half to take what you’ve learned and develop your own stories.
