Writing With Subtext

Hi Diane, Jim -

Firstly, I’m really enjoying the video series. It’s always educational to see the process first hand - I wish I could 4x fast forward my own meandering uncertainty, sometimes. I’m especially interested to see how much of the iron and char of Diane’s original concept emerges as the tempered Dramatica steel at the end of all the hammering.

Secondly, apologies for inserting my question here - I tried to find/use the Reply as Linked Topic button, but I’m either not worthy, yet, or that feature isn’t working for me for some reason.

Finally and thirdly,
@Jhull in a reply, here: Breaking Down Story Units for Novels you indicate that the Story Drivers should have their own structural scene/sequence. At 9min30sec in episode 6 of Writing With Subtext, you reply to state, effectively “The Driver doesn’t get its own beat”.

If I’ve misunderstood something, can you indicate what it is?
