This is a remake of story structure and plotting, a much better video series in my opinion. All you need to watch is the first six parts to understand how to use the story-structure guide. The last six parts gives a real-time example of how I use the guide.
Pass it around. This is a gem. At least I think so.
Here is a link to the guide.

Thanks I am so glad to have found your videos. Reading Plots Unlimted makes you want to scream. I’ve read instructions of that book off and on and when I think I’ve figured it out I realize it still doesn’t make since. Someone mentioned Plotto by William Wallace Cook that predates PU, but the book is usually in the $100′s, because it’s old and hasn’t been republished.

@TVwriter23 I’ve never read it, but a lot of writers make this idea complex. I explained it in a way that makes sense to me.

Has anyone ever figured out how to use Plots Unlimited by Tom Sawyer and Arthur David Weinngarten. I’ve had this book for years and still can’t tell if it’s me or the format is just overly complicated.

If you continue with the series it should make sense. The Monkey Wrench is something goes wrong. This is when Neo wakes up in the real world.
