Writing instruction for refics and real life
Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 7:27 amI'm sure a lot of us are interested in writing, including when it comes to the Refic problems that Mr. A claims are easy, but seem to be taking time to bring about. One of the sources I've found for insight into story, and even real-life situations, is Robert McKee. He has some videos on Youtube that might be thought-provoking on some level. Even when it comes to thinking about the story we're acting out with Mr. A and the rest of this ARG, including among metaguards, there's value in thinking about general principles of story.

Any thoughts on how that might be relevant to any of this? Note the emphasis on the role of conflict in story, something that moves the plot forward based on who characters are and what they want, rather than just squabbling, or engaging in idle chit-chat when more *might* be done to prepare for all the uncertainty and unpredictability that Mr. A is concerned about.
