In the context of writing, particularly storytelling or narrative structure, "bowl" is not a standard term widely recognized like "plot" or "character arc." However, it might refer to the metaphor of a "story bowl" or "narrative bowl," which can describe a container for the story elements—essentially how all the components of a story (characters, plot, setting, themes) are brought together and interact within a structured format.
Another possible interpretation could be related to the "bowl structure" in creative writing, which uses the metaphor of a bowl to illustrate how a story can build up tension and conflict (filling the bowl) and then release it (emptying the bowl) through resolution.
If you meant something different or more specific by "bowl" in writing, please provide additional context, and I'd be happy to help clarify!
