Sublime

Michael Hauge taught me that every good story is built on three foundational elements: character, desire, and conflict, also known as the plot.

the essence all drama is built on: change, and the internal struggle a character must undergo in order to achieve it.

Storytelling is about bringing opposites together and stilling the conflict between order and chaos within.

Instead of labeling angles, the writer suggests them by breaking single-spaced paragraphs into units of description with images and language subtly indicating camera distance and composition.

the author will actively pursue a specific goal (the point they are trying to make), positing a theory, exploring it and coming to a conclusion.

like any good crisis point it forces Michael to confront his earlier actions.

the two most powerful scenes in a story are the last two act climaxes.

The choices they make will illustrate their character.
