Character Driven Plotting

July 1, 2025 July 28, 2025

Step back from more traditional and complex seeming approaches to plotting, and try something different (that even works for pantsers!) Learn how to create a story / plot fast, easily, and in a way that will make your characters feel well rounded and deeply real.

The course is unique in that, most courses on plotting are very focused on story structure, and on rise and fall of tension. This course sees those things as secondary - they are what you do to present the plot incidents in a manner that keeps the reader flowing through the story - but they are not what creates those incidents in the first place.

What is primary, in this course, is allowing the characters, as you define them, to provide you with all of the ideas you will need, to then layer into any story structure you like, to result in a cohesive, consistent, and tension filled plot / story, with minimal mental effort on your part.

The course is unique in that, most courses on plotting are very focused on story structure, and on rise and fall of tension. This course sees those things as secondary - they are what you do to present the plot incidents in a manner that keeps the reader flowing through the story - but they are not what creates those incidents in the first place.

What is primary, in this course, is allowing the characters, as you define them, to provide you with all of the ideas you will need, to then layer into any story structure you like, to result in a cohesive, consistent, and tension filled plot / story, with minimal mental effort on your part.
