Universal Grammar of Story: THE COMPLETE GAME

Universal Grammar of Story: THE COMPLETE GAME

$74.99

The game is based on the mythopoetic writing method The Universal Grammar of Story® to guide writers in creating strong, balanced stories. The 46 moves of the game can be played with a chess-like strategy keeping total control of the story or the effortless spin of a wheel leaving the plot direction to chance. Levels range from novice-easy to seasoned-professional-staggeringly complex.

Step by step, each move evolves the story by shaping its setting, environment, social order, plot, character chemistry, rhythm of timing, and moral underpinnings as well as many more attributes.

The game includes all three Universal Grammar of Story series books—the core book, the workbook, and the game book. Answers from the workbook flow seamlessly into the game and vice versa. No previous knowledge of this unique writing method is needed to play the game which can be your introduction if you have not previously read about it.

Writers can choose to play a story at any stage in its development such as:

1. Before a single word hits the page.
2. After some writing has been done but the story seems to stop.
3. After hundreds of pages are written but the story just seems to go in circles.
4. Returning to a story given up years ago, but which will not give up on the writer.
5. To bust out of any form of writer’s block.
6. To analyze what makes a well-loved story particularly strong.
7. To find out why a box office flop flopped.
8. To help another understand why a story is stuck in writer’s block.
