The plot of your story

Hellooooooo! How are you?!

Today I will be talking about the plot.

What exactly is the plot? Well it is the series of actions your characters take to move the story forward. This contains four layers.

-highest layer: a single sentence that summarizes the story

-next layer: a three act structure, this includes a major disaster that happens that forces the lead character to commit to the rest of the story

-second middle layer: this is also called the scene, this is several pages of action that take place at a single place and time

-lowest layer: the paragraphs of the story



-happy writing-
