Why You Hate Story Structure & The Only 5 Plot Points Your Story Needs (+ Where They Should Occur)

🚨 Structure isn’t your enemy -- it’s the cheat code for stronger storytelling! 🚨

In honor of 1 year of the Reader Comments blog 🎉, I wanted to take it back to where it all began: my first two posts!

📌 Why You Hate Story Structure

📌 The Only 5 Plot Points Your Story Needs (and Where They Should Occur)

🎥 NEW: Full video of me reading these two posts on my YouTube channel!

I used to think screenplay structure was just a fancy way to cage my creativity…

Until I realized it’s actually the thing that makes storytelling work. 💡

If you’ve ever thought “Structure? Nah, my story doesn't need that 🙂‍↔️” this video is for you!

(and for me at the beginning of my writing journey 😳)

In this video, I break down the 5 key plot points every screenplay needs and when your audience expects them to happen.

Yes, there’s some math involved. 📊

But don’t worry -- it’s the fun kind!

Or at least, the kind that makes your story better 🤗

Thank you to everyone who's supported me for the past year!

Here's to another year! And another! And another!
