Add delicious complexity to your story with the help of my four-step checklist!
In this workshop we’ll discuss how integrating two subplots into your story is crucial, helping to control pacing and serving as scaffolding, supporting and serving your primary plot.
One subplot should focus on an interpersonal issue; the other should relate to a nonfiction element of your story.
