A Day at the Improv...

What we can learn about writing and revising from improvisation

Notes from Brenny's Visit

Kenn Adams & Story Spine:

Platform/Exposition:

              Once upon a time...

               Everyday...

Inciting incident:

              But one day...

Plot points:

               Because of that...

                Because of that...

                Because of that...

                ...

Climax

               Until finally

Resolution

                Ever since then...

Other concepts

yes, and... (say yes and expand on your own offers and those who respond to your writing)

advance/color: move plot forward/add details

impersonation: everyone has a "secret irritation"

Be obvious

Every offer is a good offer

Small leaps are more satisfying than big unconnected ones
