Figuring Out How The Story Could Happen


When we write a story, we often include events that don't happen very often. These events can make things more interesting, but they can also come across as being unlikely. It can be helpful for the author to do a fault tree analysis to figure out what things he or she needs to put in the story in order to line things up to allow some important event to occur. I have included an example of this in Find_the_Story.pdf. If you would like the FreeMind file, it is available at man_jumps_to_his_death.mm.
