Do you have to use all 64 elements in a novel or screenplay to make it complete?
Do you have to use all 64 variations in a novel or screenplay to make it complete?
I have read all the material, but it doesn't make that clear. Is there anyone here that has some insight on the issue?

Re: basic question
According to the theory, yes -- to make a full Grand Argument, all elements and variations must be present.

Thank you. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I did a whole set of the worksheets and worked to do that, without having anything repeat, yet stay true to the outline. However, I needed 4 sheets more, for the "leftovers", so I guess that's why it says to make 32 sheets.
I have also looked at each sheet in light of the 8 objective story characters, to relate to the archetypes.
Hopefully Thoreau was right when he said we were born to succeed, not to fail.
Thanks for your help. I may need more.
