3 STEPS TO WRITING EXTRAORDINARY STORIES W/ WORKSHEET
We all want to write extraordinary stories and the director of Pixar’s “Monster’s University” & “Onward” might just have cracked the code.
…
This week on Making Lemonade I sat down to break down dan Scanlon’s writing process to help our audience and myself understand how to better, not only write our fictional stories but how to re-write our narratives and the way we tell stories in all aspects of our lives.
…
Below you can find all the questions that Dan Scanlon asked himself in the process of writing “Onward”.
If you’d like to take the info away with you and dig deeper into it, you can find a worksheet linked below.
Throw into Procreate, Photoshop, whatever you'd like to sink your teeth deeper into this process.
…
1. Who are you?
What makes you, you?
Who are you today?
Who were you yesterday?
What did you go through to get here?
What is significant about your story?
2. What do you fear about all of the aspects of who you are?
Are you a father, daughter, artist, actor what’s your fear about it?
What scares you about who you are?
Remember: Fear makes then story human!
What other emotions do you feel about these aspects?
3. What Happened to You That Is Significant?
What did you experience?
What have your lost?
What have you gained?
Who have you met?
Who is most significant to you?
Who have you met?
Who is most significant to you?
As always ladies and gentlemen
