Do You Cognize What A Plot Is?

Creative Writing Tips –
What a plot is and what a story is can be sometimes confusing. If you think they are the same… They are not. A plot is the outline of your story. The story is everything included.
I wish illustrate the difference by asking you to visualize two pictures…
1. Visualize a skeleton.
Then
2. Visualize a body.
The skeleton is your plot. It’s the outline of your story. It won’t be visible once
we flesh it out but it wish still be there, holding your story together.
The body is your story. It’s everything, which our story wish contain, including the plot. The story is the plot fleshed out.
What makes it mean to ‘flesh it out?’
Let me show you.
I’ll take a brief plot…
A man meets a woman and they fall in love. They encounter great difficulties because their family are against the relationship.
This is the outline of the story.
Now we are going to flesh it out and do it into a story. Fleshing it out means adding things to do this basic plot into a story. To do this we wish add the rest of the ingredients such as…
Setting – Wherever
wish our story take place
Dialogue – What wish be same
and by whom
Characters – How many an characters wish our story contain? Who are they? What is their role?
Problems – What and how many an problems wish the couple encounter
Goal – What is the couple’s goal?
Conflict – What is the conflict?
Climax – How is the conflict going to move to its peak?
Ending – Wish their love win in the end?
And thing
else I’ll need in my story
Once we have written up all these ingredients, this wish be our plot fleshed out into a story.
