Universal is characteristic of the whole, covering the entire collective, everyone and everything.
Story is an account of events in the evolution of something.
With no true beginning and no end -- though we often believe we can pinpoint the moment a new life is born, the true end of life -- when you begin writing a story, you jump right into the middle of the universal flow of things and fly in the current. Coming into existence, bound up and separated from all you know a struggle ensues. Finally free, transformation happens.
The Universal Story flows endlessly. Within the collective, each moment, each scene, every life begins, struggles and grows, transforms and dies off. Beginnings, middles and ends, each part of the whole. The Universal Story sends all our stories, all our lives spiraling upward, evolving, transforming and dying off.
I teach writers about the Universal Story with Plot Planners to better see the whole of of their stories and how each scene fits into the collective of the Universal Story.
Each of us benefits from considering our own personal stories and lives against the backdrop of a broader reality and the Universal Story
