From September to December, The Write Focus podcast will focus on Plot.
Everything to do with Plot.
Freytag’s Pyramid and the Beats.
Plot Points and Pinch Points and the Complex Plot Structure.
Three-Act … or Four-Act Structure.
Shakespeare’s Structure.
And the best Structure of All, the most adaptable to every writer’s needs, able to be stripped down to the basics or built into cycles for epic length.
We cover it all, every Wednesday as the year cools into autumn and winter.
Information comes from our host M.A. Lee’s guidebook Discovering Your Plot,
with assistance from Edie Roones and Remi Black.
What do writers want from plot?
What do writers need from plot?
As wordsmiths, we writers know that want and need are two different words.
- The want is a circumstance that we writers can control. We want plot specifics to help us craft story and exceed reader expectations.
- The need is a circumstance of obligations from reader expectations of story. While readers may want the comfort of the genre elements (the tropes), they also wish to have their interest and curiosity piqued.
Can we writers deliver on the expectations and the surprises in order to please our readers?
That’s the involved question that our series based on Discovering Your Plot hopes to answer.
