To the right of this post is a list of the 22 Steps in the Plot Series: How do I Plot a Novel, Memoir and Screenplay?(a few more coming soon complete the series)
Now that I posted the directory of the YouTube series, I wish I started the list with the last one and encourage you work your way forward. Perhaps this will work as a strategy for the writer who never reaches the end, finishes, accomplishes her goals. Perhaps beginning at the end will help you stay true to the cause of writing your story.
Whether by conventional means and you begin at Step One or the unconventional way of beginning at Step 22, my intention is to provide you with a series of videos to guide you step-by-step through the plot elements that create a pleasing form, one that mirrors the universal story.Â
Plot Series: How Do I Plot a Novel, Memoir, Screenplay?is playing on my YouTube channel. Currently, there are 22 steps. A directory of the program is to your right. Each link takes you to a video that explains that particular plot concept about the universal story.
Benefits of watching the Plot Series:
1) Become a better writer
2) Play along on The Santa Cruz Traveling Mystery Tourand win a free plot consultation with me
Enjoy!

I've watched them and studied them alongside the book and am so grateful to you for posting the videos. I pick up new ideas each time I hear your instructions. I mentioned you and your work in my latest blog post last night, On the Cusp of Completion.

Thanks for your support, Sarah Allen!
You're so nice, Denise. Give me a date you'll be finished and write The End…
DjordanLane
Did it. Today was the day. Put a fork in in, Martha, and call it done. I just typed THE END.
Now for a quick celebration and then the REAL WORK begins! WOO HOO!

My advice right now? After the celebrations, let the story and you rest for a spell…
