Components Of Attention Grabbing Plots

Good Plots

Have a question? Agree, disagree, with me? Leave me your opinion.

 Plot is the problem in a work of fiction, and how a writer sifts through a "fiction world" to resolve it. 

Good plots are woven through action, suspense and conflict.  

Action between opposing characters can be intense, and it's one way for characters to learn about the other's position. 

•A good plot grabs attention. 
•People keep reading.  
•A character's plight moves the story forward.  
•The incident has a chain reaction.  
•A shake up in "fiction world" for some. 

 Suspense happens each time a character almost succeeds, stumbling blocks are thrown in the main character's path. 

•Characters probe for answers to a murder. 
•Someone sprinkles false clues around "fiction world." 
•Frustrated, but determination pulls the character along. 
•The same character makes a desperate move. 
•Suspense builds as to what will happen. 

 Conflict means a clash while differences surface. 

•At this point, the two opposing forces meet. 
•Betrayal and bitter words are exchanged.  
•Each knows the other's position.  
•One wins or loses this particular round. 

 Opposing parties prepare to out-do each other to the end.
