The writer will start with an idea which may be wrapped around a character, an event or a theme. In the process of developing the idea, the storyteller shapes a framework of sorts.

This book provides common frameworks that have been used since stories came to be an important part of culture, education, and entertainment. The popular heroic journey, one of the frameworks included, is an essential plot that numerous writers have used whether consciously or not. It offers opportunity for originality while meeting the reader’s desire for more of this type of story.

Fairy tale (ex. sleeping beauty)
