Plotting (and Planning) Your Story

Got a story buzzing in your head and a dozen ways it could go? This workbook turns scattered notes into a focused, working plan. You’ll make confident choices early, without locking yourself into a box.

Start by choosing your genre with clarity, then shape a strong narrative question and your seven core plot events. You’ll thread in theme from the start and sketch immersive settings that actively carry conflict, tone, and stakes—so drafting gets lighter and smarter.

Highlights

• Genre & plot quick-start: Pick your lane and define a clear “What if…?” to organize causal, high-stakes events.
• Seven major beats: Translate the story’s big moments into a simple backbone you can actually draft from.
• Theme + setting integration: Uncover what your story is really about and build macro/micro settings that do narrative work.
