PLOTTING EXERCISE

The plot of a story is a causal sequence that results in change that engages the reader. It is beneficial for me personally to have a good amount of material already written before I set out to construct an outline: I get the clarity that comes from having an outline, and the sense of discovery from working from the heart of the story outward. All the while, I prioritize the breathing of words and images, the continually blooming form of the moment.

PART ONE

Referring to the structure, name the significant moments of the work. I will want each plot point to carry roughly the same significance, and the arc of the book to rise and rise until, toward the end, it cannot rise any further, and the story resolves. I ask questions to generate ideas for how I can continually raise the stakes.

If I don’t have one of the plot points yet, I ask: Is it right for the story as it wants to be told? If I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on one or more plot points, I ask: What is right for the listener’s engagement with the story’s pace?
