“Unlocking the Mystery: The 7 Surprising Notes Readers Wish They Could Share!”
‘When Harry Met Sally’ (1989)
There’s No Plot
You sometimes see this in big movie reviews too and wonder, “What do they even mean? There was so much happening in that film!” A “lack of plot” means that you’re introducing a lot of things but they’re not tying together or impacting each other.
A great exercise to ask yourself as you’re looking over your scenes comes from the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, called “but/therefore.” Essentially, look through your scenes and describe the core actions that happen from one to the next. Between each one you should be able to say either “but” or “therefore.”
