In our previous two episodes, we looked at 4 plot structures that are inadequate ~ Basic Beats and Freytag’s Pyramid, both of which are reductions of Aristotle’s Plot Requirements and Shakespeare’s Dramatic Structure. None of those have enough to help writers with their own stories.
In this episode, we’re close, so close, with the Complex Plot Structure … but it’s still not the greatest.
We end with a strong hint of the Best and tell you the reason it’s the best … and always will be.
