Again, provided for by the wonderful Rosie Shute! Like characters, without a good grip on your plot you'll end up walking about in a long maze and end up at a dead end. It happens to everyone, it's happened to myself--it will continue to happen. But hopefully this plot sheet will help direct you a bit!
The basics of any story are simple. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning is usually where everything is introduced and a conflict/mystery is also offered--can't go too far without a conflict (if that's the type of story you're planning). It should probably appear withing the first few chapters (for longer stories) or else readers will become, yes, disinterested. The middle is where the main character (or characters) learn more about the conflict/mystery, or it escalates in general. The end, obviously, should solve the problems or give a twist of some sort that leaves the readers guessing. Twists are often useful O_o, and can turn out great if you know how to use them! OF COURSE, these aren't the set rules or anything. Just what we see most often. |
