How I Plot Story - The 7 Point Plot Structure // part one

Okay so today we're going to be breaking down my primary method for plotting out story - the 7 Point Plot Structure (also known as the 7 Point Story Structure). I'll be using a few movie examples, including Avatar, Wonder Woman, and Jane Eyre to help break down the concepts and show examples of great storytelling. We'll go over what makes these stories work and learn how to craft great story in the process!

This is one of the first steps in the writing process, especially if you're a plotter, but it can also be useful for pansters, too!

7 Point Plot Structure:
Hook
Plot Point 1
