Improv Narrate Yourself
StoryWords & language
Narrate what you are doing out loud, in the third person and the past tense, like a novel: "He opened the fridge, hesitated, and closed it again." Ten minutes. Then switch to the story spine — "because of that… because of that…" — and turn a dull evening into a story that moves.
🎓 Tips
It sounds ridiculous, and it installs the single most useful narrative reflex there is: hunting the CONSEQUENCE instead of the next thing. "And then" sends people to sleep; "because of that" tells a story.
