Almost every story has an emotional arc, a trajectory that the reader can trace–like the flight of an arrow–as the character makes his or her journey through the story.
This arc is the spine of the story, the backbone that gives the story its shape as the action rises and falls, depending on how near or far the character is to reaching her heart’s desire.
Sometimes you can chart the trajectory
As you know from my last post, I was recently in Chicago attending the kidlit blogger's con. Swing on over to Booktopia to get my first impressions. That Saturday was great, but lots of meetings were involved! On Sunday, Esme invited us over to her Planet for brunch and a look around.
O. M. G.
This is what we saw when we entered.
And this.
And this.
And this.
Wow.
Esme was so generous with her space. (This is an apartment for her books, you know). We were all in awe. And we enjoyed a delicious brunch, and each other's company. It was time to leave too soon. I shared a cab with fellow Canadians
Andrea and Mark, and was back in stinky NYC before I knew it.
But I think that Planet Esme will be somewhere I go in my head when crowded on a train, or herding onto the ferry.
The abridged story of Bee was endearing and the tie-in with story arc was so right.
