Welcome to the Story Grid Spreadsheet Template!

Below, you'll find instructions for using this template to fill out a Story
Grid Spreadsheet for your project.
If you have any questions or feedback, please contact us at
support@storygrid.com.

Instructions

1. Make a copy of the template.

Click here to make a copy.

2. Allow access to link this sheet back to the template. This will populate the dro
Make a copy first. (See step 1)

3. Enter the Global Story Characteristics in the top section.

If you are analyzing a prose work, select Words in cell B19. If you are
analyzing a work best measured in timestamps (like a film) select
Time in cell B19.

4. Make sure you've selected the Global Genre in cell B7 on the Grid tab.
This will populate the Conventions and Obligatory Moments choices
with the ones for your global genre.
If you have a global external genre, your secondary genre (B9) should
be the internal genre, and vice versa.

5. Let's go over the columns:

Scene
Scene number.
Word Count
Word count of scene.

Chapter
Chapter Title

Chapter information that will help you find the scene. If you are
working on an analysis for a work that does not need these fields,
click the first minus sign at the top of the sheet to collapse them.

Time
Starting Timestamp
Ending Timestamp
These columns replace Word Count, Chapter, and Chapter Title if you have

The sheet automatically calculates Time and Starting Timestamp,

so all you have to do is enter the Ending Timestamp for each
scene. You can also edit the Starting Timestamp of Scene 1 (in cell
C22).

Story Event
To determine a scene’s story event, answer these four questions:
1. What are the characters literally doing—that is, what are
their micro on-the-surface actions?
2. What is the essential tactic of the characters—that
is, what above-the-surface macro behaviors are they
employing that are linked to a universal human
value?

3. What beyond-the-surface universal human values

have changed for one or more characters in the
scene? Which one of those value changes is most
important and should be included in the Story Grid
Spreadsheet?
 4. The Scene Event Synthesis: What Story Event sums
up the scene’s on-the-surface, above-the-surface,
and beyond-the-surface change? We will enter that
event in the Story Grid Spreadsheet.

Story Event Summary

Keep this brief (60 characters max, but ideally 30-40). It will be the
label on the graph for the individual scene point.

Trope Scene Type

Take the events of the scene and abstract them to a level that is
descriptive but does not rely on the specific context of the Global
Story. Express this as a trope. For example, "Stranger Knocks at the
Door," "Savior Arrives," "Friends Have Coffee," etc.
Note that there are 6 collapsed scene type columns. These are not
required.

Scene Type Column Group

There are six scene type columns:
Abstract HJ2.0 Scene Type
Representational HJ2.0 Scene Type
Abstract Worldview Scene Type
Representational Worldview Scene Type
Abstract Action Scene Type
Representational Action Scene Type
These result from analyzing each level of Story through two different lense
The three levels of Story are:

- Heroic Journey 2.0: Beyond the Surface. This is the

protagonist's movement in the individuation process (upward
toward integration or downward toward degeneration).
 - Worldview: Above the Surface. This is the protagonist's
movement in the internal genre value domain.
- Action: On the Surface. This is the protagonist's movement in
the external genre value domain.
We analyze each of these at the abstract and representational
levels.

- Abstract analysis is taking the events of the scene as they

relate to the level of Story in question and abstracting them to
a level that is descriptive but does not rely on the specific
context of the Global Story.
- Representational analysis is looking for the underlying
pattern/purpose guiding the events. You can think of this as the
essential action for each level of Story.

Value - Beginning of Scene

in O21.

Polarity - Beginning of Scene

Use the dropdowns to choose the polarity of the beginning and ending val

Turning Point Category

Active or Revelatory.

Turning Point Summary

Describe the turning point of the scene.

Point of View
Describe the point of view in the scene.

Period/Time
 The point in time when the scene takes place.

Duration
The length of time over which the scene's events take place.

Location
Identify the location in which the scene takes place.

On-Stage Characters
List the names of characters who appear in the scene.

On-Stage Characters (Number)

Count the On-Stage Characters.

Off-Stage Characters
List the names of characters who are mentioned, but do not appear in the

Off-Stage Characters (Number)

Count the Off-Stage Characters.

Quadrant
Use the dropdown to select the quadrant of the Global Story that this scen

Convention
Obligatory Moment
The Conventions and Obligatory Moments dropdowns contain patterns.
You can replace any [bracketed text] with story-specific information.
For example, you can change the Love story Convention
"[Character] is a Helper" to "Jane Bennet is a Helper"
 You can choose multiple values per cell to allow you to identify
scenes that fulfill multiple Conventions or Obligatory Moments.
When you select a new value, it will append to the existing cell
contents to create a list separated by semicolons. You can still edit
bracketed text.

The only limitation to this is that if you select a value that's already
in the list, it will act like you are trying to delete the others and
return only the new value. So, if you want to use the same pattern
multiple times, follow these steps.
1. Select the pattern, e.g. "[Character] is a helper."
2. Choose
3. Edit it: "Jane Bennetagain.
the pattern is a helper."
Now the cell's value is: "Jane
Bennet is a helper.; [Character] is a helper."
4. Now you can edit the new brackets: "Jane Bennet is a helper.; Mrs. B

Global Five Commandment

Use the dropdown to identify when the Global Five
Commandments take place.

You can choose multiple values per cell to allow you to identify
scenes that contain multiple Commandments. When you select a
new value, it will append to the existing cell contents to create a
list separated by semicolons.
The only limitation to this is that if you select a value that's already
in the list, it will act like you are trying to delete the others and
return only the new value.
If you put multiple Commandments in one cell, you'll get a
validation error, but you can ignore it. The Issues tab will still
detect your inputs accurately.

Quadrant Five Commandment

Use the dropdown to identify when each quadrant's Five
Commandments take place.
 You can choose multiple values per cell to allow you to identify
scenes that contain multiple Commandments. When you select a
new value, it will append to the existing cell contents to create a
list separated by semicolons.

The only limitation to this is that if you select a value that's already
in the list, it will act like you are trying to delete the others and
return only the new value.
If you put multiple Commandments in one cell, you'll get a
validation error, but you can ignore it. The Issues tab will still
detect your inputs accurately.

Global Genre Value Level

1. Identify which scenes are positive and which are negative on the
Global Genre Life Value spectrum.

2. Rank the positive scenes. Let's say there are 15 positive scenes.
The least positive scene (closest to neutral) will have a value of 1,
and the most positive scene will have a value of 15. Rank the
others in between, with no duplicates.

3. Rank the negative scenes. Let's say there are 12 negative

scenes. The least negative scene (closest to neutral) will have a
value of -1, and the most negative scene will have a value of -12.
Rank the others in between, with no duplicates.

Secondary Genre Value Level

Follow the same process as above evaluating and ranking scenes
based on their Secondary Genre Life Value level.

Subplot Value Level

Subplots are optional.
 If you want to track subplots in the same Global Genre as the main
plot, follow the same process to assign scene value rankings.
make sure that everything is filled in
correctly.
You can use the Notes column (Column D) if you need to keep track of
any information while working through the list.

7. Review the Foolscap tab.

This is an automatically generated Foolscap view. You can change it
by making adjustments to the Grid tab, or you can edit these values
directly (which does not affect the Grid).

If you clear the content of a cell, it will revert to the generated value.
