The Functional Mission of Story Structure

Welcome to the deep end of the pool.

Not only will your premise serve you here, it may end up being the life preserver that keeps your head above water. This is where it gets serious, and also where it gets fun. Because this is where your story springs to life.

It is also where you choose sides.

There is a loud and credible contrarian view about story structure that is alive and well within the writing conversation. There is also a quick and unassailable explanation for the variance, one that you should apply when anyone, including well-known author-guru types, tell you that there is no default structure for genre fiction (a case better made, yet still dubious, for literary fiction), that you should tell the story the way your instinct tells you it should be told.

Great advice when you know what they know. Confusing and even toxic when you don’t.

Two things about that.
