Welcome to your
Story Spark Kit

You've just unlocked one of the most practical tools in your Story Alchemy membership — and it's built on some of the most celebrated storytelling wisdom in the world. Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling were originally shared by Pixar story artist Emma Coats. They've guided some of the most emotionally resonant films ever made — and they translate just as powerfully to the stories you tell about your work, your mission, and your impact.

What you'll find inside

• ✦ 22 prompts. One for every rule. Each prompt is crafted to spark your thinking at a specific moment in the creative process — whether you're starting from scratch, stuck in the middle, or trying to find the heart of something you've been circling for weeks.
• ◈ Designed for your AI tool of choice. Every prompt works with Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Choose your rule, copy the prompt, fill in the bracketed fields with your own material, and paste it into whichever tool you use. The AI becomes your thinking partner — but you stay the author.
• ○ A creative compass, not a writing machine. These prompts won't write your story for you. They'll ask you better questions, help you see what's already there, and get you unstuck when the blank page feels impossible.

How to use this

Each rule has its own prompt — tagged as a storytelling prompt, an AI prompt, or both. Start with the rule that speaks to where you are right now. You don't need to go in order. Trust your instinct.

The bracketed fields in each prompt — like [your topic] or [paste your draft here] — are your entry points. Replace them with your real material before you paste the prompt into your AI tool. The more specific you are, the more useful the response.

Coming with every rule: your video guide

For each of the 22 rules, there is a short video walking you through the principle — what it means for changemakers and purpose-led communicators, and how to get the most out of your prompt. A new video drops each week. Look for the video library below as it grows, and return here whenever you're ready to go deeper into a rule that's speaking to you.
