What do you think about this approach to story?

Loved this video! Lux Raven's honesty and candidness about her writing process is refreshing and relatable. I've found myself struggling with traditional story structures too, and it's reassuring to know that even successful authors like Lux experiment and take risks in their writing. Can't wait to see more of her insights and tips in the future!

Werner Herzog also rejects story structure. He stated that the 3 act structure was brainless and claims that its ubiquity in the classrooms of film school is the reason why so many films today are predictable.

What I actually love in this channel is the interesting and fantastic people I get to know. I feel like I have the privilege to expose myself to someone new in my life, Even if it's limited.

#FilmCourage -- I appreciate your efforts to inform and support upcoming writers as well as those of us who are lateral to the profession, HOWEVER, either the questions you pose or the people you are speaking to are delivering ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE and superficial opinions that are NOT wisdom at all. -- Lux Raven is NO learned pioneer... she NEEDS to follow Story Structure and is not breaking ground by ignoring established precedent. For her to suggest such a thing to young writers IS NOT HELPING. --
