About this listen

Your world is built and your characters are ready, but what happens next? This week on Lore & Love, we demystify the art of plotting. Forget complicated charts and color-coded cards; at its heart, a plot is simply a promise you make to your reader. We explore how to craft a compelling narrative by focusing on that core promise and structuring it with the natural rhythm of the three-act structure.

Using the epic journey of Evandar's transformation in the Storm Kin Saga, we'll identify the key "tentpole" moments that give a story its shape—from the inciting incident in a dingy tavern to the world-altering midpoint and the cathartic climax. Learn how to use the simple engine of "cause and effect" to create momentum and pull your reader through a story that feels both surprising and inevitable.
