Re: How can screenwriters control pace? Any thoughts on unintentional slowness?
That's what I meant by obvious and a "A story has to be a story to be a story."
If, as a story teller, you don't have innate sense of what a story is, I don't really know how much good a laundry list is going to do for you.
It's sort of like trying to give instructions for walking, or breathing in and breathing out.
How many of the great story tellers, throughout history looked at that list before they told their story? I guess the real challenge would be to try to tell a story without all that obvious stuff.
