Summary

The Story Circle

" The so-called Story Circle [aka The Embryo] is my attempt to remove all of the hard and repeated work from the task of breaking a story. We do an eight-step story process here. I call it an embryo. 1) You've got a character that you can identify with 2) that has some kind of need/wish/incompletion. 3) [It] causes them to go across a threshold where the story changes direction. 4) They go down a road of trials, searching for something. 5) They find it, whether they like it or not. 6) It kind of kicks their ass, 7) and they come back to the world they started in, 8) having changed. - You, Need, Go, Search for something, Find it, Take it, Return, Changed. " ~ Dan Harmon, co-creator of Rick and Morty
