STORYSPACE: As a Learning Tool?
Maybe the fact of taking a writing class this semester has me thinking along these lines…
What about using the structural mapping capabilities of Storyspace to show plot, backstory, conflict, dramatic arc of story, etc. in learning fiction writing? Mayn’t it be a nice graphic image of the elements and plot to enhance the dry rhetoric of lecture?
I’m thinking along the lines of diagramming, much as you would a sentence in grammar.
May just try this on one of the Flash Fiction stories since they’re usually short enough to maybe include the whole thing into a Storyspace file.
