Your Novel's Catalyst isn't JUST an Event

<p>Every great story has a moment where everything shifts.You feel it as a reader before you can even name it. But what actually makes that moment work isn&#39;t the event itself. It&#39;s what your character decides to do about it.In this video I break down the Opportunity element of the STORY Framework. The disruption that breaks your character&#39;s status quo, and the decision that actually locks the door behind them. Katniss didn&#39;t have to volunteer as tribute. Harry could&#39;ve told Hagrid to get lost. The event isn&#39;t what changes everything, the choice is.I also share the email that became my own opportunity moment, and why the same idea might apply to you, right now, watching this.Grab the STORY Framework as my gift to you:https://framework.tcburr.comWant to go deeper?
