Course Description
Most stories have more than just the primary plot thread. A protagonist likely has at least one subplot, and supporting characters have them as well. Well-designed subplots add depth to the story and enhance the primary plot. They are like spices that, when blended together, bring out the flavor of each other while also creating a cohesive taste.
Without subplots, our characters and stories lack depth and interest.
This workshop addresses:
- How plots and subplots work together to create a cohesive narrative
- Ensuring your subplots have a purpose
- Choosing the best subplots for your story
- Choosing which characters need subplots
- Integrating Subplots seamlessly
This course includes
- An extensive class outline to follow along with the video lessons
- A comprehensive workbook so you can plan each character’s values and beliefs
Students have course access for 365 days. All worksheets and notes are downloadable.
What's Inside
This workshop includes class notes so you can follow along with the video lectures and a workbook that helps you plan your subplots so you have a variety of types, each with an arc that are woven into the main story thread
