-

-
-0:02:48.400,0:02:52.400
-I researched about the places that I'm
-

-
-0:02:52.400,0:02:56.239
-this is the most important part the
-
-0:02:54.400,0:03:00.239
-story arcs
-
-0:02:56.239,0:03:03.599
-for this I used the very convenient
-
-0:03:00.239,0:03:06.080
-notion of using a column view
-
-0:03:03.599,0:03:06.959
-where when I open it you can see how
-
-0:03:06.080,0:03:10.000
-I've used
-

-column view each plot point
-
-0:03:10.000,0:03:16.959
-and who the character is what is their
-
-0:03:13.120,0:03:17.599
-plot point itself so okay and you can do
-
-0:03:16.959,0:03:20.879
-this for
-
-0:03:17.599,0:03:22.800
-each and every uh story arc romance
-
-0:03:20.879,0:03:24.480
-uh each and every character sub
-
-0:03:22.800,0:03:27.360
-character okay I haven't
-
-0:03:24.480,0:03:29.040
-uh labeled them so next is the story
-
-0:03:27.360,0:03:30.879
-design so now we have the character
-
-0:03:29.040,0:03:34.000
-independent character arcs
-
-0:03:30.879,0:03:36.799
-uh here again column view comes in handy
-
-0:03:34.000,0:03:38.400
-this is a different set of columns now
-
-0:03:36.799,0:03:40.560
-you can use
-
-0:03:38.400,0:03:41.840
-not only the main the main character arc
-
-0:03:40.560,0:03:44.959
-is the
-
-0:03:41.840,0:03:48.560
-backbone but in the middle of it
-
-0:03:44.959,0:03:51.840
-supporting characters augment the
-
-0:03:48.560,0:03:53.040
-main character and their own plot points
-
-0:03:51.840,0:03:55.680
-are also
-
-0:03:53.040,0:03:57.519
-can be filled up using the column view
-
-0:03:55.680,0:03:58.720
-and you can find out where which act we
-
-0:03:57.519,0:04:00.720
-are talking about
-
-0:03:58.720,0:04:01.840

-it that we're doing
-
-0:04:01.840,0:04:05.840
-okay next is the specifics which is the
-
-0:04:04.640,0:04:08.560
-scene design
-
-0:04:05.840,0:04:08.879
-uh this is going to be look like a mess
-
-0:04:08.560,0:04:11.200
-but
-
-0:04:08.879,0:04:14.400
-it's actually very very convenient can
-
-0:04:11.200,0:04:16.000
-be as exhaustive as you can you can do
-
-0:04:14.400,0:04:18.320
-the title of the scene
-
-0:04:16.000,0:04:19.280
-the act the point of view as it's called
-
-0:04:18.320,0:04:21.280
-point of views
-
-0:04:19.280,0:04:23.199

+WEBVTT
+
+00:00:03.559 --> 00:00:09.200
+No, there is nothing wrong with your mobile 
+device or your computer. This was how my world  
+
+00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:15.040
+was when my kid was born 11 years ago.
+
+00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:29.280
+Hello, I am Bala Ramadurai, author, professor 
+and consultant. 11 years ago in Bangalore,  
+
+00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:41.120
+my son was born. My wife and I had hardly slept 
+through those days. That's when my grandma  
+
+00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:48.560
+visited us to take a look at her great grandson. 
+As joyous as that sounded, it came with a peril.  
+
+00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:55.840
+My grandma was a Scrabble addict. She hardly 
+spent any time at all with her great grandson,  
+
+00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:02.720
+but she spent most of her time playing Scrabble. 
+She insisted that my wife and I join her.  
+
+00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:07.840
+That's when an idea dawned on me to write about 
+my Scrabble obsessed grandma. What if I could  
+
+00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:13.760
+make it into a novel. Not many people have 
+Scrabble obsessed grandmothers, after all.
+
+00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:19.280
+I wanted to expand this to a novel, but did 
+not know how. I bumped into Dan Wells' video  
+
+00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:28.960
+on 7-point story structure. I was now convinced 
+that a seed idea could indeed be converted into  
+
+00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:34.480
+a novel, so I tried out many tools at the 
+time - million dollar tools like MS Word,  
+
+00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.991
+Excel, Scrivener and the lot. In my research of 
+tools, I found that George RR Martin famously  
+
+00:01:37.991 --> 00:01:40.320
+had used Wordstar for typing out Game of 
+Thrones. At that point, I remembered about  
+
+00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:43.840
+an old editor - Emacs. I knew about Emacs from 
+my undergrad days and my earlier software days.  
+
+00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:49.040
+Thanks to the emacs community and particularly 
+the orgmode community, I had what I wanted.
+
+00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.680
+Now, it was time to put the idea into action. 
+I used another method called snowflake and also  
+
+00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:05.360
+Tony Ballantyne's emacs writing template. The main 
+features from org-mode that I used - fold, unfold,  
+
+00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:17.920
+columnview, tags, distraction-free writing 
+experience, clocking, project tracking and export.
+
+00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:33.317
+Now, the demo. We start with the plotline (a one 
+line summary of the story). Then we write out the  
+
+00:02:33.317 --> 00:02:34.160
+characters, describing them in detail. Write 
+the main story arc, followed by the secondary  
+
+00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:35.920
+character story arcs. Here is where org-mode 
+really scores. Move the points in the story  
+
+00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:43.920
+structure to form a coherent story. We 
+get into location research. Write them  
+
+00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:56.800
+all out in the columns. Once you are satisfied, 
+now scene design. Each point in the story  
+
+00:02:56.800 --> 00:04:09.040
+requires at least one scene. In columnview, 
+you can see many things - Act, scene,  
+
+00:04:09.040 --> 00:05:09.680
+story point, location, POV or point of 
+view. Make sure you finish this and read  
+
+00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:10.896
+the whole story if it makes sense. Now, create 
+a project file to track your project and clock  
+
+00:05:10.896 --> 00:05:18.880
+your project to see how long it takes. I used 
+a similar structure for my non-fiction book,  
+
+00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:25.520
+which I published recently, all 
+written and edited in emacs-org-mode.
+
+00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:30.480
+Thanks to you guys at the community, I 
+am now a published author and I plan to  
+
+00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:36.560
+publish and help other authors publish using this 
+wonderful tool called emacs-org-mode. Thank You.
