Okay I'm not a professional writer, but I have learned that even though we can come up with a good story but how can we make that story possible to have the reader's interest?

The answer to that is creating a good plot. Now what is a plot exactly?

A plot is a chain of events that make up the story. In Blood and Fire I created a really amazing story of a young female vampire that has a cursed blood that people are after her. Because if they drink her blood they are granted with immortality along with bring prosperity to their race.  

While that is a good story to write about, the question is how, who, what and when does her blood get drink and what happens to her after that? It needs a series of plots or one plot in order to make the story come to life. So do we need one plot or multiples. In my opinion, it varies in each chapter I've written there will always be one plot in every chapter. In some chapters, I will leave a nice cliff-hanger to make the readers wonder what's going to happen?

The picture above is a good picture of what a plot is. Now there are some plots that are in the story that will follow along within the story. For example, in Love Beyond the Void the main character Mizuki is trying to break the curse that's been placed on her. However, in the story she starts to discover more about herself, her family and finding out that she has a half brother. 

Now all of that won't be in one chapter. It will be coming along within the story, because it's events that lead up to the end of the plot.

Now if that is confusing to you, I do apologize. But, here's a tip when I watch anime like Naruto, Vampire Knight, or Fairy Tail. I've noticed that in each episode there is always a plot like when you watch an episode ask yourself these questions.

*How does the episode start off?

*Which event catches your interest?

*When does the climax start or when the episode has reached it's peak?

*How does the episode end? On a sad note? Confusing note? Or a happy note?

*Does this episode have an event that leads you questioning about the character's motive?

When you answer those questions while you watch an episode. You might be able to find yourself to catch a grip on what a good plot is. 

Again I do apologize if this chapter doesn't explain much on writing plots. 

However what can get a plot going is having a dramatic situation. What kind of dramatic situation? Well here's a list of dramatic situations that can be included in a plot that you might be able to find in the story you love. 

*Deliverance (Character types: someone who needs help and someone to rescue that person)

*Supplication (Character types: someone who needs help, usually due to the antagonist)

*Vengeance of a crime (Character type: the avenger and the criminal)

*Falling prey to cruelty/misfortune (Character type: the unfortunate and the master)

*Vengeance taken for kin upon kin (Character type: the avenging kinsman, the guilty kinsman, someone to remember the victim, a relative)

*Obstacles to love (Character type: lovers, people who stand in their way)

*Necessity of sacrificing loved ones (Character type: the hero, the beloved victim)

*Conflict with a god (Character type: the immortal, the mortal)

*An enemy loved (Character type: the beloved enemy, the lover, the hater)

You can combine with several of these situations to assist you to develop a plot that will sustain the story. These situations can be used to create a plot twists, give the reader insight into a character, create dilemma for the protagonist, and much more to form any other cause-and-effect situation to move the plot towards the climax.
