21st Century Story Design. System Thinking for Evolutionary Story Development.

Great screenplays are about authentic, transformative change, and yet many screenwriters don’t understand how real change happens. We idolize the mythic super-heroes who single-handedly, miraculously create change by the sheer force of their will despite the odds against them. But from a “systems perspective”, this is the least effective way to change anything. Don’t Slay the Dragon offers a revolutionary new framework for story design beyond the “Hero’s Journey”. Based on the principles of how living systems change, it gives writers the indispensible tools they need to generate stories of authentic change with all the complexity and real complications of the 21st Century.
