About the session:

Sometimes a plot problem isn't actually a plot problem. In other words, sometimes you are stuck about your story, or not sure what should happen next, but it isn't actually the fault of your plotting.

Rather, it's actually that your novel is too complicated. There are too many moving parts.

I come across this problem so frequently I would like to give a training session on it. I will discuss:

1. How "frame narratives" can get you stuck.
2. Why multiple POVs can get complex, fast.
3. When your different stakes and concerns cancel one another out.
4. The danger of adding "fake plot" to your story.
