PRACTICE

Let’s practice using story arcs with a creative writing exercise. Here’s what we’re going to do:

  1. Choose one of the six story arcs: Rags to Riches, Riches to Rags, Man in a Hole, Icarus, Cinderella, Oedipus.
  2. Write a six-sentence story based on that arc using the six elements of dramatic structure: exposition, inciting incident, rising action, crisis, climax, and resolution.
  3. Then, set your timer for fifteen minutes and expand your six-sentence story as much as you can.

When you finish, Write Practice Pro members can post in The Write Practice Pro workshops.
