"Story" - Our Story Structure book from 1991
No, it's not Robert Mackee's book. This is before that. Back in 1990 we started a book on story structure later to become "Dramatica". In the early days we simply called it "Story". The following PDF file (40 meg) contains the first 20 pages from a draft we were working on in November of 1991.

Origins of the Dramatica Theory
Many people have asked how we came up with the Dramatica Theory. Well, it didn't happen all at once. In fact, it was a three year full-time effort, 8 hours a day. And the theory we now have is quite different than the concepts with which we started.
In going through my archives, I just discovered four hours of recordings we made in 1991 to document our very first attempt at a "complete" theory - kind of a unified field theory of story. Here are all four hours of audio in mp3 formt, divided into 8 parts. Enjoy!
