We have hit a wall in our book writing process, so we’ve decided to work on our plots.

Jenni and Marc break down some plots from famous novels and try and apply them to their own book. We also look at classic plot structures from Well-Storied.com, using Freytag’s Pyramid, the Fichtean Curve and the Hero’s Journey.

Also in this episode:
· Writing down the Status Quo
· Who is the main character in Lord of the Rings? 
· Is Harry Potter the main character in the Harry Potter books? (yes, yes he is) 
· Our main plot line appears to be ‘he’s being a naughty boy and shagging about a bit’
· Jenni’s kids book plots – 'The Dog Stuck in the Fence' and 'The Trip to the Post Office'
· An update of the effect of the lovely Dr Rangan Chatterjee’s book on Jen and reducing phone time
· Our amazing idea of a pub, where your loyalty card gets you story updates! Plus red wine and steak night!
