After writing last week’s post, I spent some time sitting in a café with a notebook, checking in with myself about how things have gone during my first three months of running this Substack.
Was I still excited about this project? How much of what I’d had in mind at the start of 2024 had I actually accomplished in the first quarter of the year? What should I be focusing my energy on for the next three months?
Am I Still Excited About Emotional Superstructure in Stories?
The answer to the first question turned out to be a resounding YES! I am still very excited about this project, about the work of exploring story structure in a way that feels very different from how I’ve seen anybody else talk about it.
I’m continually blowing my own mind as I work on the weekly craft posts.
