The heartbeat of plot is the scene. There’s a character in a situation, a conflict or problem arises, then whatever it is gets handled. Each problem, once handled, whether solved or shifted, results in a new situation with a new problem making a new scene. String a bunch together - Problem —problem handled —problem—Problem handled - and you’ve got the two-cylinder engine of plot. Now, if you want the tension to build, instead of handling each problem in a sequence, pack it into another bigger problem that has to be resolved first. Then another and another until you’ve got a series of problems stacked like Russian matrioskka dolls. When you finally build to an impossible-to-solve problem that cant get any worse, you unpack them in reverse order like opening the dolls. #writing #rewriting #storystructure #plot #plotstructure #writingadvice #writeradvice #writingadvicefromwriters #writingtips #writingtip #author #authorsoftiktok #WritersOfInstagram #WritersOnInstagram #WritingPlot #ImWriting #Author #amwriting #HowToWrite #writinglife #writinglifestyle #writersoftiktok #writingtips #authortok #authortokfyp #booktok #books #authorsoftiktok #author #authorslife #authorphilosophy #writertok #writertoker #writing #creative #creativity #myphilosophy #foryoupage
