#15 Plotting 101: A Q&A On the Elements of Plot

Plotting a novel can get complicated, fast. Plot can be as simple as beginning, middle or end. Alternatively, you can use complicated plot structures that make your literature professor salivate. There a plenty of resources out there to help you improve the way you plot your novel, but rarely do aspiring authors get to ask questions about plot with which we really struggle.

This week’s episode is structured as a question and answer forum. I scoured the internet, social media and picked the brains of fellow aspiring authors for the questions they wished they could ask. Then I provide answers from my research and own writing practice.

Key knowledge you will acquire in this episode:

• A deeper understanding of plot
• Common challenges author’s experience with plot
• How to overcome plot challenges
