Most people live inside stories they never chose.
Scripts handed down from family. Cultural narratives about success and failure. Inner voices that narrate every stumble as proof of some fundamental flaw.
What if you could rewrite those stories?
Not through positive thinking or wishful affirmation, but through deliberate narrative craft. By treating your life as a working document instead of a fixed text.
That’s what I explore in my new short story, The Narrative Alchemist.
It follows Daniel and Emily as they encounter Mara, a teacher who demonstrates something unsettling: the pain we feel isn’t just from what happens to us, but from the stories we tell about what happens. Change the story, and you change the life that unfolds from it.
This isn’t fantasy fiction. It’s a dramatized exploration of real principles I work with in my own practice. Story as substance. Identity as draft. Imagination as operational tool. The way symbolic literacy and mythic patterns shape our daily choices.
The story includes practical frameworks:
- How to rewrite origin stories without denying what actually happened
- Techniques for editing the inner narrator that delivers harsh commentary
- Methods for living chosen narratives through daily ritual
- The difference between reframing and spiritual bypassing
Think of it as narrative alchemy in narrative form. A demonstration of the principles through story, not just explanation.
