Thank you, kindly. FYI, there are exercises in the back. And a theme song!

Diverse Narrative Structures 2.0 [NEW DATE] Storytelling staples in the West, such as the three-act structure and themes of empowerment and change, are far from universal.

It’s going to be a wild ride!!!

Wonderful meeting up to write in person with some of my UCLA Writers’ Program students and prove that I’m not CGI. 4.5 hours flew by. Pic attached of profundities being written. Just too bad it was such an ugly location.
Love,

I’m obsessed with it, too! I wish you beautiful adventures exploring your own ideas with it.

Excellent!! It’s going to be a deep dig!!!

I am excited for all of you to discover new ways to make your stories more themselves!

SEQUELS IN REBOOT DRAG

You know how sometimes a reboot covers the first movie but adds so much that you’re basically getting a sequel, too?

Well, I just did that with my popular @writingtheother.com
class about 4-act structure and circular/nested structures.

Aww, what a satisfying response. Thank you. I am excited for the story idea you shared.

Aww, thank you for your contributions to the class. I hope your @clarionwest.bsky.social experience is as life-changing as mine was. I hope to get back to work with your class before the six weeks are over!

Thank you! After writing the book, I do have a lot of new material, draw from the book, and also in addition to the book. Hope you can join us!

Awww thanks for being one of my brave human test subjects! The book and this course expand greatly upon that foundation.

I hope you can make it.
Love,
Henry

It’ll include some irreverent games, an intensely personal story, and live performance of the theme song. QR code leads right to the registration. This is NOT a typical presentation about writing craft. Audiences have laughed and cried. It’s something that seeks to engage your whole humanity. +

SPRING, SUMMER, ASTEROID, BIRD: The LiveStream
In case you weren’t able to get a ticket to my appearances in NY, LA, SD, etc., I’m doing a FREE online presentation for #aapiheritagemonth of my material in connection with my latest book about Asian storytelling from @wwnorton.com +

Also, there are exercises in the back of the book and a theme song for it on my site.
