| Power Structure's unique  Must Happen Lists   are a 
    great way of making sure that you actually accomplish what you set out to do. 
 |  | Aristotle 
    codified the basic  3 Act Structure  of dramatic storytelling 
    in his   Poetics well over two thousand years 
 
 ago, and not only is the concept still going strong, but it is wonderfully compatible with 
    other models of storytelling such as Campbell & Vogler's  Hero's 
    Journey. Power Structure 
    brings the power of the 21st Century   (give or take a year!) to these ancient 
    concepts, helping you build your stories with strong acts that have dramatic relevance for 
    each of your characters, thus helping you to create an extremely strong framework on which 
    the rest of your story can be built. Recently, at the 1999 Banff 
    International Television Festival,  Aaron Sorkin, playwright 
    and screenwriter of  An American President and 
     A Few Good Men, as well as the creator, writer and 
    producer of the acclaimed television shows "Sports Night" 
    and "The West Wing," said that all writers should 
    read the Poetics, and that he believes virtually any story or structural 
    problem can be addressed by some part of this seminal treatise.. |
