Stuart has completed the BW Framework!
What I learned doing this process… this has been a fantastic process of compiling all of the module’s development work, distilling, editing to make it more vivid and compelling. This takes a lot of time, and mental focus. The big discoveries involved giving balance amongst my three leads – and allowing a connected character to speak up for greater involvement. I wish we had three days for this before launching the next module… yikes. This will continue to evolve as I take it into the pitch bible development. Very excited for this next stage.

What I learned from doing this process is that I’ve never had a better, easier or more logical way for me to build a series.

Wendy Weising is ready for feedback!
What I learned doing this process: This was the hardest assignment for me. I tend to be more wordy, so it took me awhile to cut things down. The plot became clearer as I moved through it.

Elizabeth Dickinson has done her BW Framework.
She would really, really like feedback, but doesn’t feel the formatting is the way she would like it to be.
(Frankly, there’s a lot more I’d like to do to it, but am feeling time-pressured, and realize a lot of what I want to do can happen later. The gist is there…)
What I learned doing this process is that it was extremely frustrating. I have more than 3 main characters but didn’t realize until I was part-way in, that the 6 main character framework was immediately under the 3 main character framework, so I basically did the 3 main character framework all the way through, and then added what I could of the information for the next 3 characters to the 6 main character framework, instead of re-pasting everything into the 6 main character framework.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO HAL THAT HE CREATE SEPARATE DOCUMENTS FOR A 3 CHARACTER FRAMEWORK AND A 6 CHARACTER FRAMEWORK WITH SEPARATE LINKS TO AVOID CONFUSION IN THE FUTURE!!!!
Also, there is no such thing as a simple cut-and-paste from the existing homework into this document. I pasted the assignment questions from either emails or from the website into new word documents and answered the assignment questions within those documents. Trying to cut-and-paste from those word documents was virtually impossible because the formatting was completely screwed up during the paste, so it involved either retyping or cutting-and-pasting on a line-by-line basis.
Which would drive anyone crazy.

Subject Line: Ben is ready for feedback!
What I learned doing this assignment is it wasn’t easy doing this assignment. I had to cut down
chunks of details, rearrange layers with information that would show up at different point in the
story, but the good news is, I’m happy with what I have done with my story. And everything is in
one place to look at when I need the information. It was worth doing this assignment.
And if anyone likes to exchange our Binge Worthy framework, please let me know.

Linda Anderson has completed the BW Framework!
What I learned doing this process is it forced me to sort out the plot, subplots, and characters. A work in progress.

Avi Kapurala is ready for feedback!
What I learned doing this assignment is: better ideas will continue to come my way as I process the various pieces of this framework. Looking forward to getting more and more clarity about my plot, characters, layers and everything else and further improving my framework as the course goes on!

(Laurie Brown) has completed the binge worthy framework.
What I learned from doing this lesson was how turning my prose into bullet points allows for much more creativity and new ideas for character conflict to emerge.
-
P.G. Sundling has completed the binge worthy framework.
I already had a novel that worked as my framework. There’s a lot that happens in the book, so it was overwhelming to pare down. I’ve lived with these characters for so long. My book already had all the binge worthy stuff. It’s just a matter of removing the stuff that isn’t.
This would be such a useful step in a new project though.
