WriteStory

The Seven Story Layers

Every story in this system is constructed across seven simultaneous layers:

  1. •Meaning — Theme, philosophical argument, lesson
  2. •Character Change — Sacred flaw -> transformation arc (Storr)
  3. •Plot — Cause-and-effect chain of events
  4. •Mystery — Information management (reader knows vs. doesn't)
  5. •World — Setting, politics, physical environment, rules
  6. •Relationships — How key bonds evolve and pressure characters
  7. •Prose — Rhetorical figures, voice, aesthetic, style

Quick Reference

  • •Theoretical Foundation: Storr (character science) + Forsyth (rhetoric) + classical rhetoric
  • •Story Bible: PRD-based plan mapping all 7 layers start-to-finish
  • •Scale: Short story (100s of ISC) to multi-book series (10,000s of ISC)
  • •Anti-Cliche: Built-in freshness system bans generic AI patterns
  • •Aesthetic: Configurable per project (Adams, Tolkien, sparse sci-fi, etc.)

Examples

Example 1: Starting from scratch

code
User: "I have an idea for a fantasy novel about an elven princess raised by orcs"
→ Invokes Interview workflow
→ Extracts character concepts, world details, themes
→ Maps ideas across seven story layers
→ Produces structured input for BuildBible

Example 2: Building the full story plan

code
User: "Build the story bible for my novel"
→ Invokes BuildBible workflow
→ Creates Story Bible PRD with all layers mapped start-to-finish
→ Identifies milestones, character transformations, mystery reveals
→ Outputs comprehensive layered narrative plan

Example 3: Writing actual prose

code
User: "Write chapter 3 based on the story bible"
→ Invokes WriteChapter workflow
→ Reads Story Bible PRD for chapter milestones across all layers
→ Deploys rhetorical figures for memorable dialogue
→ Produces fresh, anti-cliche prose in configured aesthetic
