Summary:
A story is like a creature. It can have a multitude of limbs and unusual features, but it needs to be able to stand on its own and deliver its creator's intent. Laurel introduces tools and strategies to check that your story has the key elements required to carry a compelling story. Visual strategies are introduced to help you understand what the current structure of your draft is and how to strengthen it.
