Hi everyone -- been working on a big project this week (title above). It's a story I have tried to write for a long time, but I believe I have found the form for it so it's going a lot better. So for today's question -- how do you figure out how to tell your story? I think the material picks the form. You try it until it yields as it should. I generally get it right the first time, but not always. And the more I like the material, the harder the form is to find because of my expectations. Thoughts?

Carl Sandburg would agree with you, function finds the form while Robert Frost would imply you a rank amateur for in his world form found the function.
I personally walk in Camp Sandburg. At least he knew how to speak in dignity to everyman with dignity.
It's only happened a few times but it has happened that a story started one way has to be completely revamped in another way. when I was younger I just abandoned those efforts. Now I do work to complete them.
