How Solid is Your Plot?
Every story should have a main plot; most stories have several sub-plots within the main plot.
What is a plot?
Plot refers to the pattern of events within a narrative or drama; these events culminate into the story’s resolution. The development of the events and how the main character(s) react to these events often give a story its meaning.
Most books that you read about plot will tell you that to have a solid plot, your story should have five components:
- Conflict
- Complications
- Rising Action
- Climax
- Falling Action
Want to learn MORE about plot…and see how I tie the movie FATAL ATTRACTION to the five components?
