27-Step Plot Tutorial: How Do I Plot a Novel, Memoir, Screenplay?

The first day of filming the27-Step Plot Tutorial: How Do I Plot a Novel, Memoir, Screenplay? Youtube series was September 2010.

I remember putting that 1st video up on Youtube, mortified by the yapping dog in the background and well-aware of how distracting for viewers who struggle to mask out background interference. Still, I knew if I didn’t put up the video, flaws and all, I’d be waiting for perfection forever.

Fire ahead four light-years filled with growth for the series, me as the Plot Whisperer and personally. On the anniversary of that first video, the number of views onPlot Whisperer Youtube channelcrossed over 200,000.

My birthday present to the series and to you and writers everywhere is a spruced up version of the series. The 27 steps remain the same. This time, no distractions + one plotting exercise per a video.

For more about the what’s happening with the series:

Thank you for your patience as I re-film the series. In the meantime, for help plotting your novel, memoir, screenplay, read thePlot Whisperer books:

I recommend writers writing for all ages watch How to Write a Sell a Picture Book with a Plot. Picture books are without subplots, thus allowing the primary plot lines to shine through. Try the exercises.
