Unlock the Secret Formula: 6 Story Arcs That Will Keep Your Audience Glued to Every Word
- Main plot
- Internal plot
- Subplot
Here’s the key point:
Each plot must have its own arc
That means if you’re writing an adventure story with a coming of age internal plot and a love story subplot — like The Alchemist, a quarter of the Harry Potter series, A Tale of Two Cities, The Da Vinci Code — then you will have three different arcs, one for each plot.
Short stories only have one arc
Conversely, if you’re writing a short story, it only has one arc. And, usually, that arc will only have one or two movements.
