Hi Flyers and welcome into Flight School:
This is our third Mini-Class of the Back-to-School Challenge that helps you create the best book possible.
Plot, like structure, is always bubbling under the surface of your writing and waiting to be discovered. Bring plot forward in your consciousness and harness it’s remarkable power.
In this compelling lecture, I delve into the intricacies of plot, drawing from Christopher Booker's "The Seven Basic Plots." I breakout each of the seven plot types: Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, The Quest, Voyage and Return, Comedy, Tragedy, and Rebirth and provide detailed breakdowns of their structures, offering examples from literature and film.
We’ll also touch on the relationship between plot and character development, the significance of the transformational moment in a story, and how to identify the right plot for your narrative.
Don't miss this opportunity to revolutionize your writing! Watch this in-depth lecture on plot and unlock the secrets to crafting compelling narratives. Whether you're a novice writer or a seasoned author, this masterclass will provide you with invaluable insights to elevate your storytelling.
