Description: Kurt Vonnegut had a system for graphing story arcs, whether you believe him or not, let me show you a way to visualize all the parts of your story. When a story is disassembled, the various parts can be seen in new ways. “Seeing” each arc allows the best parts and the parts in need of work to stand out. In the tradition of great writers, let us graph the parts of your story.
