Description
Develop Plan – or at times Autumn and Jesper refer to it as the Planning Phase – makes up the second half of the middle of your story. There’s actually quite a lot to achieve here before we bump into the next Plot Post, the Climax.
In this part of the story, you’ll be setting up the conclusion to the character arc while simultaneously allowing enough time for both the hero and the villain to make the necessary “chess moves”.
Throughout this Plot Post, the hero will gain the resources needed to achieve the goal. It could be skills, knowledge, allies… Whatever it is, it’ll elevate the character from being a novice to an intermediate level.
While all of this is taking place, the pace of the story will also pick up and escalate the tension further.
In order to handle this escalating tension, and add some structure to it from a story plotting perspective, we’re going to build out five levels of hurdles and lulls.
Listen in to episode 5 of Write the Story podcast and hear how Autumn and Jesper go about it.
