UNDERSTANDING A AND B PLOT AND INTERWEAVING SUBPLOTS IN YOUR FICTION
Weaving together the disparate plot threads of your novel can be difficult. Which should take up the most space on the page? Are there some that don’t even need to be there at all?
Understanding the concept of A-Plot and B-Plot (Where A-plot raises and answers the plot question, while B-plot – and by extension C-plot and D-plot, if you have multiple subplots – comments on, echoes or counterpoints what’s going on in the A-Plot.) can help streamline the process. Phew! It can also make for a more cohesive and resonate final product.
Amber will discuss how to use A-and B-plot, and show examples of how subplots get interlaced with the main narrative. Are you up for it? Sure you are. See you there.
