WHAT IT IS: The Inside Out Synopsis helps you build your story from the inside out. It will help you articulate a vision for your story, uncover your protagonist’s internal arc of change, develop your plot, and provide you with a map you can follow as you draft your story.
WHY IT MATTERS: Writing a story from the outside-in is one of the most common mistakes I see. The plot.
But starting with plot is like walking into a story backwards.
Stories need change. It’s what gives them both a sense of movement and a sense of meaning. But change doesn’t come from the external plot; change comes from your protagonist’s internal arc of change. That means you need to know that internal arc of change before you can plot your story. And that means you’ve got to dig into some big questions, from why you’re writing this story to what it is you’re trying to say to how the protagonist’s journey will make that point for you. Then you design a plot that will carry the protagonist along that internal arc of change, whether that’s a wholesale change in worldview or a small shift in perspective.
In other words, you need to write your story from the inside-out.
HOW THIS CAN HELP: In this guide, you’ll get:
The Five Questions, designed to help you uncover the heart of your story and your protagonist’s internal arc of change
The Seven Elements of your story spine that will help you develop your story’s Big Picture
