Short Story Structure with Mary Robinette Kowal on JoCo Cruise 2017

Event description from https://jococruise2017.sched.com/even... When people are struggling to write short fiction, the problem usually begins with the idea. It often leads to a story that is too long, really the beginning of a novel, or so simplistic that it's dull. In this workshop, we'll walk through how to create and structure a short story idea. Mary Robinette Kowal teaches us about story structure, with the MACE quotient (based on the MICE quotient, which you can hear Mary talk more about at http://www.writingexcuses.com/2011/08... She changed Idea to Ask/Answer, but later gets a suggestion from the audience that it be Inquiry) Milieu: begins when your character enters a place, ends when they leave it Ask/Answer: begins when the main character asks a question, ends when they answer it Character: internal conflict: begins when a character’s self-definition is challenged, ends when they have reached a self-definition that they are comfortable with (via denial, resistance, exploration and acceptance.) Event: external conflict: begins when status quo is disrupted, ends with a solidification of status quo Principal Sabourin interrupts with a PA announcement (the things you can do when you charter a whole ship!) about tomorrow’s food and music festival in Loreto, and how we will be filmed as the gold standard for the tendering process. He also announces the signup sheets for the sea monkey open mic (which I will upload later) and that the internet is back after 1700 monkeys basically ruined it. We’re all very fancy in fezzes and moustaches and formalwear. Mary Robinette then starts explaining what happens when a story has more than one thread going on, using nesting XML-style code. The example uses The Wizard of Oz. Ls=(C+L)*750*1.5M She talks a bit about how to identify distinct locations, when and why flashbacks work, story bloat, the difference between being electrocuted and being shocked, and the relationship between structuring a story and improv. She tells us what she should know from the first sentence, first two sentences, and first thirteen lines of a short story. She tells us a few new versions of Little Red Riding Hood. She also talks about dialog tags.
