Tag: Plot and Structure

This tag collects the craft writing on plot and structure — how a story is built so its scenes turn and its acts hold. It spans handbooks and articles on story arcs, the dying second act, opening hooks, genre contracts, and the difference between things happening and a plot. The principle throughout is that structure is architecture, not formula. The collection grows as more craft material is added.
