Story Cycle Plot™ Guide

The Story Cycle guide is a tactile plot development tool that acts like a road map for your story idea.
The Story Cycle plots eight primary beats for your main character:

- Opening scene (comfort zone)
- Identify their desire/need
- They enter an unfamiliar situation
- They adapt to it
- They achieve their goal
- But at a price
- Return to familiar conditions
- Changed

The Story Cycle / Story Circle

Just like a GPS for drivers, which plans start and end points – but also stops for food, gas, rest, and entertainment – the Story Cycle guide is like a road map for your script. You can see at-a-glance where your hero is, where she’s coming from, and where she’s heading
