 +====== This, therefore that ====== 
 +This is a reframing of setup/payoff which can be more useful in a specific scenario.\\ 
 +This idea mostly comes from [[https://speakola.com/arts/matt-stone-trey-parker-nyu-writing-class-2014|here]], though I'm going to summarize it.

 +===== Elaboration ===== 
 +Basically, when you're recounting your own story structure, you should avoid having the word ‘and’ occur between events: ‘Jack fell and Martha was sad’ and, instead, you should have the word therefore: ‘Jack fell therefore Martha was sad’.\\ 
 +This is why I say it's just a reframing of setup/payoff and more of a tool than its own thing. However, it's very useful for getting a feel for setup/payoff...or cause/effect if you prefer. It's also useful when nesting structures.
