ABSTRACT
We’ve started with Idea . . . we’ve questioned our Idea . . . we’ve made some adjustments. Then we went from Idea to shaping the story in the form of a Step Outline. We’ve said that story is the progression of the signifi cant activities that occur in the telling of the material. Story is what happens-exclusively what happens . And we prove out Story by doing a Step Outline. Our Step Outline is the progression of the major turning points in the sequence of what happens. We now have a viable structure to our story. So we’ve gone from generalizing an idea to focusing the Idea into a Step Outline, story structure, a skeleton.
