Story Engineering by Larry Brooks
I love Larry Brooks’ book Story Engineering, and I follow his site storyfix.com.
Both resources have made me a better writer.
His post Six Core Storytelling Competencies Good—Better—Best is a fantastic checklist of great storytelling, and it inspired me to create a worksheet for my projects.
Here is the worksheet in Word and PDF formats.
Thanks again to Larry for making this writing stuff a little easier.

Thank you for sharing this, I was having one of those ‘Can’t see the woods for the trees’ writing days, and this really helped me to focus on the next step.
My pleasure Paul, glad it helps! Good luck with your writing!
Thank you, Jeremy. I really like charts and checklists!
My pleasure Catherine, I’m glad you’ll enjoy it! I’m working on a spreadsheet now that will help pinpoint where events fall in the story, and I’ll share it when it’s ready!
This is gold, Jeremy! I’m so glad I found it. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Monica, I’m glad it helps! Good luck!
Thanks for putting this together, Jeremy!
My pleasure Todd, good luck with your writing!
