36 Dramatic Situations
Every so often I come across something that works as a mnemonic device or to spark thoughts on developing story when I'm working through the outline of a piece of writing.
One of them is a webpage I found on Wikipedia that I thought I would share: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirty-Six_Dramatic_Situations.
I really find these kinds of resources helpful for when I feel my brain is bogging down and overwhelmed by the task at hand. Such things can spark a new line of thought or simply get me to simplify and thereby see the heart of what it is I'm trying to say and/or do.
