When to use frameworks to solve your story problems—and when to trust yourself and lean on your own story authority. You've heard of Save the Cat! Story Grid. Blueprint for a Book.These are all frameworks designed to help you edit a novel. If you don't know these names, I bet you know others—Hero's Journey, Freytag's Pyramid, 7 Point Story Structure, Dan Harmon's Story Circle, there are dozens more.Each one promises that if you use it, you'll be able to craft better stories. And because we want to write good books, the writers I know are constantly learning new frameworks and analyzing their stories through them.I use frameworks like these in the editing process, after the first draft is already written. But I've seen many writers use them earlier, even before they begin writing.It's a tempting thought, right? What if you could use these frameworks to solve your story problems and make writing your first draft so much easier? What if you could build a story from the ground up that already fulfills everything those frameworks require from the very first draft?Would that shortcut the creative process? Would it help you create a better story faster?Or would it get in the way of your storytelling? Are there moments in the creative process when frameworks like these might just do more harm than good?I'm a big fan of storytelling frameworks. But today, we're taking a hard look at them to see what they offer, what they can't do for us, and how to tap into your true authority as the writer of your own story.Links mentioned in the episode:Find B is for Book Coach on Substack »Further listening:Ep. 79: Ask This Question When You're Overwhelmed by Your StoryB is for Book Coach: How to Take the Drama Out of Cutting and Rewriting ContentB is for Book Coach: Comparison Isn't a ThiefSend me a Text Message!Support the showRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts "I love Alice and Your Next Draft."

Welcome to our Podcast episode dedicated to exploring the fascinating concept of 'flow' - a state of deep contentment and absorption in activities that stimulates your creativity and fuels productivity. Your host, Elizabeth Johnston, a seasoned creativity and story coach, as well as a certified autobiography guide, will guide you on a transformative journey as she discusses her personal experiences and shares insights from the work of acclaimed psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Discover the extraordinary correlation between wealth, happiness, and this elusive state of 'flow', and learn the profound impact it has on your personal and business life. Understand how incorporating story into your business can serve as an appealing draw for the right clients. This podcast promises an enlightening conversation, which will encourage you to reassess conventional business models and reevaluate the role of happiness and 'flow' in realizing your goals. With her profound insights, bolstered with real-life anecdotes, inspiring research and intriguing activities, our host offers a compelling route to enhanced clarity, vision, and a deeper understanding of your life and business narrative. This is about unlocking your own path to elevated productivity, creativity, and overall satisfaction in your life and business journey. Finding Happiness in Work: Utilising 'Flow' for Increased Productivity and Satisfaction Dive into the unique methodology of tracking everyday activities and gauging the joy or dissatisfaction derived from each, a worthwhile tool for time management and augmenting daily contentment. You will discover the need to delegate tasks that hold you back and obstruct your ability to experience pleasure and achieve the flow state. The episode also provides valuable insights into societal structures that often result in unforeseen stress due to uneven task distribution, particularly within families and relationships. Understand the importance of reevaluating roles in order to attain happiness and abolish actions that foster contempt. Get acquainted with the role of social approval, and how doing things out of obligation rather than choice, primarily to appease others or save face, can lead to loss of personal satisfaction and 'flow'. The episode culminates with an invitation to the free Story Circle writing workshop, where participants can explore the power of writing about their lives and discovering personal narratives. The ultimate goal is to learn to consciously organize your life around activities and tasks that bring joy and keep you in the flow state. Don't let your days be overthrown by activities that dampen your spirit. Choose to live in a state of constant flow and make the most of each day.

As the seasons begin to change, we find ourselves wrapped in the afterglow of a snowstorm — a perfect time to foster our aspirations and face the hurdles ahead. Join us in a heartwarming journey where we embrace the art of grounding ourselves through meditation, connecting deeply with the earth and our innermost dreams. We'll navigate the ancient philosophy of Wu Wei or effortless action and learn to trust the natural flow of life. With art from Beckie Masaki, we explore the transformative power of story circles within communities like Mending the Arc. Together, we'll reflect on exciting collaborations and the fresh growth they promise, mirroring the renewal we seek in our own lives.With the brushstrokes of Michael Heiser's "Double Negative" and the silent majesty of a winter forest as our backdrop, we reflect on the profound effects of art and nature on our spirit. Solitude, often a catalyst for creativity, becomes a central theme, inspiring introspection and aligning with our intentions for the year. We close with the soulful strains of "Sorrow" by Windows Seat as we also look forward to an enriching collaboration with the Democracy Center, continuing to weave a narrative that celebrates the courage found in both love and sorrow.**Limited Time** Join Belinda Liu and Omar Brownson on Feb. 10 in Los Angeles for our Empathy and Democracy live podcast and pop up art (and tea).

This was a very special Hope Story Circle — our 100th! We invited all of our past guest storytellers, and everyone who has attended our Hope Story Circles, and we had a lovely group of people. We asked the storytellers if anything had come up for them from having shared their story with us? And, we asked those hearing the stories to share if anything had come up for them, having experienced the stories — was there a thread they could identify? Then, in the break-out rooms, we invited people to share a title of a story that they would like to hear, or that they would like to tell. After returning, they all typed them into the chat and upon a countdown, all entered them together in a waterfall! The connections that people have experienced in our Hope Story Circles have been deep and many have been long-lasting. We laughed, we cried, we celebrated our connections, and honored one among us who is an activist for peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict. For now, our Hope Story Circles are going on pause. We invite you to go back and listen to the many podcasts with all of our wonderful storytellers. And follow us at www.peacealliance.org/calendar - see what might emerge next to support our wonderful community in all that we each do in the furtherance of peace. Much love to all — Terry, Liz and Jelena

The Story Circle has turned its attention to the first fiction appearance of Ob Nixilis, the planeswalker turned demon turned demonic planeswalker, as he claws his way into the heart of Zendikar searching for a path back to power. Dreams of the Damned is the first of two stories by Nik Davidson that introduces us first to the present and then the past of a fan-favorite character. It's also the first of our Story Circle pieces to slot into a larger, set-spanning story arc. How is Ob's character developed in such a short piece, and how does this story's role as a part of a broader fiction color our reading of it? This episode features a full reading of the story from about 9:30 to 18:47.

Jake Graydon is a filmmaker, and he told a story of creating his very first film. At first, he asked his brother to help him with his idea, but his brother was too busy. So he decided to write it himself, and after completing the script, decided he wanted to direct his film — he had grown so fond of the characters and the story, that he didn't want to hand it off to anyone else. He created his film, had a great deal of support and wonderful actors to carry his unique story about love and family connection. He entered his film into festivals, and one — a Horror Film Festival — resulted in great acclaim. He received so much positive feedback, it has inspired him to continue. Even The Darkness Has Arms is his film - please, view it. He loves filmmaking, and he loves storytelling — and the question for the group was about how we connect with others based on the human connection, not focusing on what separates or divides us, but on what brings us together.

Over time, he wrote three memoirs about his adventures as a helicopter pilot, and as he did so, he realized that for most of his life he had been a pawn of the Military Industrial Complex. He became angry. He lost friends in Viet Nam. He lost friends in Iraq. Both wars were based on lies. He's had thousands of friends murdered by our government by unjust and unwarranted wars. What can we do to prevent it? He has some clear ideas of what can be done, starting with taking 1% of the Defense Budget and dedicating it to peace. That would be equivalent to $24 million a day.

Rick and Morty: B2B Marketing Lessons from Dan Harmon's Circle Story with Sarah Frazier, Director of Content and Brand Strategy at Cube

Remarkable Marketing

Does it feel like you're flailing for ideas ​​every time you're starting a new campaign? It's good to have a place to start every time. To have a framework for your story that gives you loose benchmarks to meet so you're not starting from scratch every time. It's the answer to all the hard and repetitive work that goes into storytelling. It's the antidote to marketer's block. It's marketing, codified.Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon came up with the “Story Circle,” an 8-step journey the characters go on in each episode akin to the Hero's journey. And Harmon has used this framework for any new story, including for his work on the show Community. He says, “I can't not see that circle. It's tattooed on my brain." This structure enabled Harmon to write over 60 episodes of the show, which has become the most watched TV comedy for adults between ages 18 and 24 as well as a hundred-million dollar media franchise. So on this episode of Remarkable, we're looking to the Emmy Award-winning Adult Swim hit TV show for lessons on storytelling structure, the delightful use of absurdity, and much more. And chatting with us is Cube's Director of Content and Brand Strategy, Sarah Frazier. Join us as we talk Pickle Rick and all things content marketing on this episode of Remarkable.About Rick and MortyRick and Morty is an animated series on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim about mad scientist Rick who takes his grandson, Morty, on sci-fi misadventures including things like inter-planetary travel. The series was created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. Both Rick and Morty were voiced by Justin Roiland until 2023. (Adult Swim cut ties with Roiland following news that Roiland was facing felony charges for domestic violence. The charges have since been dropped.) It also stars voice actors Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith, Spencer Grammer as Summer Smith and Sarah Chalke as Beth Smith. Rick and Morty started airing in 2013, and It's won a slew of awards, including 2 Primetime Emmys. About our guest, Sarah FrazierSarah Frazier is Director of Content and Brand Strategy at Cube. She joined the company in February 2023. Prior to Cube, she served as Head of Content Marketing at Podium, a platform for local businesses to get more reviews, collect payments, send text marketing campaigns, and centralize their communications. She has also held content marketing and demand gen roles for Drift and CustomerGauge.   What B2B Companies Can Learn From Rick and Morty: Create a framework for your storytelling. Map out the stages of your story structure to give yourself a foundation for each campaign. It gives you a basis to build campaigns from instead of having to start from scratch every time. Co-creator of Rick and Morty, Dan Harmon says creating the story circle was his “attempt to remove all the hard and repeated work from the task of breaking a story.” So do yourself a favor and create a framework for each campaign to start from.Employ absurdity. Be ridiculous and wildly unreasonable as a way to grab audience attention. When blended with seriousness, clever humor, and creative ideas, it's a surefire way to keep your audience interested. Sarah says, “The inherent randomness of our own lives makes us feel better to see it played out on the screen. The ability to see like you are maybe not solely responsible for the things that happen to you, that there is inherent randomness in the universe. But ultimately the lesson is like you are responsible for how you react to those things. Very similar to how you deal with customers and potential customers. They're going to come at you with all sorts of questions and comments, things that you didn't consider. It's how you react to those things that creates remarkable moments for them where you are a memorable vendor in their head and you define the journey for those folks.”Speak to the pain points of the employee, not the organization. Connect with your audience by sharing relatable stories, and by showcasing your solution as the answer to their personal growth. Sarah says, “Some of the best storytelling that happens today is where you're talking about someone late at night in front of their laptop, elbows deep in trying to solve a problem, and it's like something that's a lot more personal. You're talking about like someone saving their career versus someone using tech to solve a problem for their organization, which is such a boring narrative that we hear all the time. I think where people are succeeding is where they can lean a little bit more into that, ‘How can I help you further your career?' versus like, ‘How can I help your company do this?'”Quotes*”When you can ground things in a process, then you can use that mental energy to focus on creating something that's more interesting or more absurd. And if you don't have to worry about the flow and the process and the structure, then you can really use that brain power for something else.” - Ian Faison*”We're always talking about scaling in marketing. And particularly in tech startups because we want to move fast and iterate. But what are those unscalable moments that we can create for customers that feel wholly unique to them?” - Sarah Frazier*“Some of the best storytelling that happens today is where you're talking about someone late at night in front of their laptop, elbows deep in trying to solve a problem, and it's like something that's a lot more personal.

Crystel Patterson has reinvented herself, becoming an author of a series of children's books. It was truly a plot twist, as she had a fulfilling career in technology consulting, never considered herself a writer, nor had a passion for writing.  The occasions that planted this seed had to do with her two young boys. Her 8-year old, after George Floyd's murder, asked the question: Why do police keep killing black people? Those were his words, and they stuck with Crystel. She didn't know how to respond. Her younger, 3-year old son had memorized a book and recited it as it was read to him. She realized that these simple books had the power to change thought, and to plant seeds. She set out to write a series of children's books with positive messaging for young children of color, with inspiration based on real people. This inspiration crosses over to children of every color and ethnicity, and even adults whose children are touched by these books have said that they wished books like this existed when they were children. Writing is now Crystel's passion, and it answers the question for her: What are you doing for others?

Sequan Prude's life gave him many challenges. His beginnings were a little rough, from a broken home and parents that both had their own demons, he went to 8 elementary schools, 6 junior high schools and 7 high schools. This rough start led him to make some choices that resulted in his incarceration for more than fourteen years. During that time, he had a few awakenings, and gained a college education, the achievement of which was successful in a personal goal to make his grandmother proud, as valedictorian at the top of his class. On a path of forgiveness, the last part was to learn to forgive himself as part of healing, realizing that although he had made some really bad choices in his life and had done things that he needed to pay for, that he could give himself some sort of grace that it took a lot to make the changes that he has made. The inquiry was about balancing accountability individually, with the collective responsibility to we owe as society — and how to balance those things.
