Story Values If there is anything in that stands out as the most useful bit of technique you can learn, this is it. Story Values. Everything else in this book is important or useful. But this is a concept that truly revolutionizes your work and sets it above the pack. Story values are how you demonstrate character arcs. There are four levels of story values: Positive, Compromised, Negative, Detrimental. Positive: This is the value we all want our life to be experiencing. Compromised: When you enter this plane of values, things are on the skids. Negative: When you hit bottom, this is where you enter the territory of the Negative values. Detrimental: If Negative is when you hit bottom, Detrimental is when the bottom falls out from under you. Exploring the Values Let’s see how they work in terms of a story. Kyle is a wealthy man. He tries all sorts of things to get himself back on top, but they fail. Kyle takes the loan from Rafe. We’ve now reached the climax.
