AB -  Fran Stryker was a professor of creative writing at the University of Buffalo. He is perhaps best known, however, as the creator of "The Lone Ranger." Back in the days when radio was the primary home entertainment, "The Lone Ranger" was a half·hour program that was on five nights a week. And it wasn't written in the style of soap operas; each half-hour segment was a complete story, which necessitated a lot of story plots. Because the show ran for many years, both on radio and then television, Stryker invented a marvelous technique - The Morphological Approach. to Story Plotting. a device designed to generate multitudinous story plots. The technique uses the four basic elements of a short story - character, goal, obstacle and outcome - as headings in four columns of a chart. Character Goal Obstacle Outcome A group or an individual brainstorms examples under each column heading. Directions might be as follows: 1. In the first column. list possible main characters for a short story.
