Shaping Your Plot Line Is Important

You want your memoir to be interesting and meaningful, but what should you include in your story line to make it "interesting and meaningful?" In short, what are best ways of shaping your plot line?

“Interesting and meaningful” doesn’t happen by itself. You have to make it happen.

How do you structure the increase in tension so necessary in a plot so as to lead to a climax, a turning point and an ending?

Your story line is a significant contributor to creating an “interesting and meaningful” memoir.

If this is so, what should you include in your memoir’s story line for shaping your plot line?

In this week’s video, which includes a Master Class delivered to Memoir Network members as a tele-class, I guide you through the process of discovering the necessary—and perhaps inevitable—structure of your story.

The process is easy enough—and essential!

In this video, Shaping Plot Line, I include sure-fire ways to structure your storyline.
