The world of today can encompass the Dark Side, and needs to. Thus our most serious productions need to be dramatic lessons in reality dealing with real issues and real conflicts.
The verdict is not in yet whether modern productions will just picture the extremes of a dark and comic reality, or also offer dramatic transformation and problem-solving hope to the viewer and reader.
Life
is the next most frequent word. This reflects the author’s emphasis on dramatic reality being a parallel to life reality.This author tends to emphasize drama and fiction as that cultural product that examines the world at its worst and best, but also inspires people to live a life of character and values, but not by fleeing from the Dark Side of life.
The word, list, is used a significant number of times because the author’s interactive teaching method is to provide users many, many lists of story and craft ideas in all major story areas that the user-writer takes and modifies and turns into the content and structures of their own story they are trying to tell, using the best that is story-craft.
The user-writer of
TWI
is not given a relatively few basics as is true for other story-craft writing software the author has seen. The user of TWI
is given hundreds and hundreds of serious writing craft tools and ideas to use. No wonder the word, List(s)
appears so much in The Writer’s Interface
!Since the author of
TWI
is a writer-psychologist it makes sense that the words, reader(s)
and writer(s)
, are near the top of the most frequent list. Thus Strephon provides his expert knowledge again and again in understanding reader motivation and psychology, and how to build this into character psychology.Strephon is also strong on motivating and teaching committed writers, so it is natural that
writer(s)
gets a high word frequency. This means that all users of TWI
will appreciate Strephon’s understanding of writers and their creativity needs in writing good story.Thus we also say that if you never reach a final destiny step of having a best-selling book, you will achieve for yourself, in following through with a writing project, how to express yourself better with people. This means being able to tell stories dramatically about yourself and others, and not just occasionally jokes that you hear from someone else first.
