Today we have another monthly Craft Jam. This is a new feature at DIY MFA, where once a month, Lori and I will be jamming about the craft. In these episodes, we’ll be doing a deep dive into various craft topics like character development, story structure, world building and more. This month’s episode is a deep dive into how to perfect your plot.
In this episode Lori and I discuss:
-
Starting with plot versus starting with a character
-
What an outline really is and how to use it
-
Making sure your plot twist is actually a twist
Plus, our #1 reading recommendation on books with great plots.
