Guide title
Stevenson's A Humble Remonstrance as ten questions to ask of your own story
Coverage
For writers of fiction, comics or screen stories who want a checklist of questions drawn from one 1880s essay by Robert Louis Stevenson, on simplification, one chosen motive and three kinds of tale. It is a reading of a single chapter in a 1912 edition, untested, and does not judge whether the advice is correct.
Useful starting points
- Name the one thought your piece echoes in a single sentence, then mark any line that points a different way.
- Decide whether your piece is a tale of adventure, of character or of passion before judging whether its plot is tight enough.
- Test each incident against your chosen motive and cut or move one sentence that strays from the business of the story.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
