Podcasts Culture Project: Shadow The Designing Principle is the most important concept when developing a series

The Designing Principle is the most important concept when developing a series

b'My concept of the Designing Principle comes from John Truby\\u2019s Anatomy of a Story:\\n\\u201cThe designing principle is what organizes the story as a whole. It is the internal logic of the story, what makes the parts hang together organically so that the story becomes greater than the sum of its parts. It is what makes the story original.\\u201d\\nJohn Truby. The Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller (p. 25)\\nAs I know that the book I am working on is the first book in at least a trilogy, if not a larger series, taking the time to find the designing principle that will not only hold this book together, but the entire series so an unknown quantity of books will all hold together even if it goes beyond the initial concept is hard. What I have learned is that this is the heart of the series that I have talked about so much on the podcast in the past.\\nLet\\u2019s explore this idea together.\\nIf you want to support the work that I do, you can join the project on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cedorsett\\nYouTube Channel= https://www.youtube.com/user/cedorsett/\\nSite: https://www.projectshadow.com\\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/cedorsett\\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/projectshadowsite/\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/projectshadow/message'
