Book Description
In the 21st century the companies that make stories seem increasingly uninterested in providing a satisfying product to what they see as an audience of captive fans. To free you from captive fandom, the Guide to Good Story will show you how the value of a story comes from “Three Dimensions.” The first dimension is appeal, which describes the value stories provide by stimulating our emotions and providing us with the kinds of experiences that we want to have. The second is quality, which describes how well or poorly a story provides the elements our brain needs to generate and maintain the “suspension of reality.” The third dimension, context, describes how factors outside of a story shape it and create value within the story. You will then learn how to use the three dimensions together to become an aficionado, someone who uses the Three Dimensions to find good stories for themselves.
