BREAKING: Israel has just bombed Beirut, Lebanon. This is an extremely serious escalation.

Today at dawn, Israel bombed Syria’s capital city of Damascus.

Israel is carpet bombing Gaza.

How can anyone still refer to Israel as the victim as it constantly attacks its neighbors?

Students at NYU asked the creators of South Park the million-dollar question:

“What makes a good story?”

They gave one of the best explanations of story I’ve heard:

“If we can take the beats of your outline, and the words ‘and then’ belong between those beats… you got something pretty boring.

What should happen between every beat you’ve written down is the words ‘therefore’ or ‘but.’”

They go on to say, “That gives you the causation between each beat, and that makes a story.”

Point 1:

There’s an idea in storytelling called ‘Promise, Progress, Payoff.’

Essentially, a story is a neverending cycle of promises that are paid off over the span of the story.

It’s a cycle of expectation and resolution. Cause and effect. Conflict and progress.

Point 2:

A story isn’t a bunch of random events thrown together.

A story is a series of but / because / therefore moments.

A famous example:

• Harry discovers he's a wizard. Because of this, he goes to learn magic at Hogwarts.
• But then he learns Voldemort wants to kill him and rule the world.
• Therefore, he must find a way to defeat him.

Point 3:

‘And’ implies a simple continuation.

‘But / Therefore’ give prior events meaning through causation.

‘But’ implies conflict. ‘Therefore’ implies progress.

I’m reminded of a Hemingway quote:

“Prose is architecture, not interior decoration.”

Great writing is intentional. It doesn’t wander. It builds upon itself.

I hope you enjoyed that! If so, follow @nathanbaugh27. I study the best storytellers ever and share what I learn.

This is me not paying any attention for meaningless attention seeking post to avoid increasing their engagement. I just type here lah to express this:
Eh bodoh sangat post kau ni.
Ok dah. Lega.

“Cha" and "te" are both Chinese words for tea. If a territory came into contact with the drink by:

• The Silk Road = "cha"
