Narrative Device: This Affects Every Single Word You Write
Who is telling your story? Who are they telling it to? Why are they telling it?
This is the Narrative Device!
The Narrative Device consists of three main components:
- Author: The Author is someone who is capable of telling the POP premise as a story to shed light on the problem another person has.
- SAM: The Single Audience Member is a person with a problem related to the one the protagonist faces in the POP premise.
- Problem: A specific problem that the POP premise can shed light on.
What Shawn, Danielle, and Leslie are trying to teach Tim this week is how this affects every single word of his writing.
