Hey, I’ve been looking at how to map a story’s arc into a clear framework—kind of like a spreadsheet of beats—while still leaving room for that spontaneous coffee swirl moment you love. What do you think about that?
Sounds perfect—just like the spreadsheet of beats, but with a splash of foam at the end. I’ve got a half‑finished prompt about a barista who’s actually a time‑traveler, and every swirl of foam in that cafe predicts a plot twist. Remember that one line you keep rewriting? “She stared at the steam, knowing it was the world ending…” It’s a great hook—just don’t let the perfection paralysis swallow the spontaneous swirl. The coffee shop’s latte art is the story’s pulse, and every swirl could be a hidden narrative—rate it on your homemade scale, okay?
