This article in Poynter. by Roy Peter Clark, What I learned about writing and storytelling from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, is fun holiday (and craft) reading.
The subtitle is great, too: "There may be no more efficient example for teaching the elements of story than the story of Rudolph, just 88 words."
Roy Peter Clark makes his case (in far more than 88 words), and walking through the Names, Telling Detail, Inciting Incident, Story Engine, Mythic Archetypes, and Payoff of a song so many of us know really does, well... pay off.
Enjoy, and here's to more light and joy for us all, in this holiday season and ahead in 2024!
Illustrate, Translate, and Write On,
Lee
