I was looking through my notes tonight, found this and thought I would share it.
Pixar 'Once Upon a Time' Story Spine
Pixar Story Artist Emma Coats tweeted some storytelling tips from the studio, including a story plan based on sentences starting ‘Once upon a time…’ Story expert Brian McDonald also features this method in his books. It is certainly a simple and fun way to structure a story.
Project name
Once upon a time…
And every day…
Until one day…
And because of this…
And because of this…
Until finally…
And ever since that day…
This is a great way to outline your story. It gives you the major plot points. Once you have filled the basic information in you can add more information, expanding more on each point until you feel you understand the story well enough to begin to write it.
As I mentioned today I am putting together ways to begin to write. I will post it in a few days.
Thank you!
