Three. It’s a magic number.
Three is used as an element in fashion, in art, in interior design. It is used to present arguments to persuade others to act or respond or believe that a particular conclusion is valid.
But most importantly, it is used to tell stories.
You might have heard of the Three Act system for story structure, but we’re going to break far more than a plot into three parts.
Break the Story into Threes does not require you to be a plotter. It does not require you to be an organic writer, a pantser. It might turn you into a combination of the two, a plantser. The goal is a comfortable template of your own where simple guidelines keep the story flowing once you key those first words on page one.
We’ll talk chapter setups, POVs, what some call “beats” but I consider percentage spots in the word count where something needs to occur. Character types, scene blocking, and more! It’s amazing the number of things that break into three elements!
Are you ready to venture forth into this forest of Threes?
