Here we have the different elements of what make plot: structure, beats, arcs, pacing, tension, etc.

Check out the different videos and the charts below.

We will add more info as we find it.

Remember you can always change the kind of book, but either way the type of book will affect its structure.

Google ACT structures, study them, see if any can work for your story or if your story fits in any of them. It might help. 🤷🏻‍♀️
