Description

Wes Chu joins us again for a Q&A about this month's topic: story structure! Here are the questions:

Do you make a conscious decision about how to structure your story before you begin writing?
Is it necessary to use multiple structures (three-act, Hollywood formula, etc) in order to ensure that your story works?
What tools do you use to view your story's structure?
What do you think about cliffhangers?
How do you come up with plot twists for your stories? (Answer: A blast from the past with Michael Stackpole! Season 1, Episode 19!)
What structures should I use to add variety to my writing?
Is there a specific amount of time you should spend on your introduction before getting to the inciting incident?
What do you do when you're halfway through with a story before you realize the structure is wrong?
