episode 27: 12.27: Choosing a Length
Your Hosts: Brandon, Mary, Dan, and Howard
We discuss the ways in which we decide upon the length of the stories we write, and at which point(s) in the creative process we make that decision.
Liner Notes: This is the story-length formula that Mary shared with us:
Ls=((C+L) *750)*M/1.5
(In English: Add the number of characters and the number of locations. Multiply that sum by 750. Then multiply that number by the number of MICE elements the story incorporates and divide by 1.5.)
Or, here's a handy infographic that she developed later.
