Your mileage may vary, but I’d be fascinated to know what it is. This post is taken from a Twitter thread I used for mapping out the three-mood /gesture structures ( ) of stories (as they seem to me) as a way to read them. Each dot point is one shape - one way of reading the shape of the story.I find it more revelatory, intuitive and useful, both for reading stories and for writing them. I like breaking short stories into progressions of three moods (rather than beginning-middle-end, etc). See Story Shapes - Three-Mood Stories for background. It’s based on previous three-moods posts. And I’ll edit this with links to related posts from time to time. Feel free to ask for more detail/clarity. Story notes are in regular text, my thoughts are in bold, in case that makes it easier to skip around. It is extremely long, and I plan to extract sections of it into more concise posts in the future. This post is a roughly tidied/slightly edited version of a Twitter thread I kept, tracking my January 2022 (and late December 2021) short story reading.
