Pffff. Excellent reading. I've made some research on storytelling, but this is superb. For someone visual like me, that sinusoidal graph is gold and revealing. Just abstract data to convey the big picture. Did you constructed it?

I usually link everything to music. And because storytelling and music are dynamic, I mean tied to time, I feel they're much alike, in a sense. Cycles of tension and resolve. Like life itself!
