Writing Book.6 - Pt.4 - The "Oh Sh*t" Moment & THE STORY GRID 101 MAP #001 --- (+016)

BEHOLD STORY GRID MAP #001---you've written and written and written only to realize...NOW. RIGHT NOW. FOR THE FIRST TIME...there are clear steps to writing a great story. Right there. You can feel it.

1.) The “Oh Sh*t” moment is when someone reveals the steps…

*mystical opening sound*

And it took you this long to get here. To a clear path.

6 Books. (Scratch that, 7. One unreleased it was so bad.)

And now you’re just beginning???

What kind of sick—

You would never compare yourself to Gandalf, but much like Gandalf, you’re standing at the bottom of the Endless Staircase in the most bottom pit of Moria (hell), and you see the endless stair winding up around the corner, and the demon beast is running from you.

The Big One. Your Story.

And to slay that beast…THE BIG ONE…you have to start all over. At the very bottom. After you’ve already been through hell and back.

But there it is. The stairway to heaven. (starts in Section.2)

You can count them. See them. You can take that first step.

This is going to hurt.

But you know…there’s nowhere else to go.

Well sh*t…
