When you think of plotting, do you picture pages of outlines and meticulous notes? For some writers, that structure feels reassuring—but for others, it can be stifling. In this episode, my guest Charlie March and I invite you to rethink what plotting can look like. From building a story through character, emotion, or theme to trusting your instincts when traditional methods fall flat, you’ll discover fresh approaches to shaping your novel. Whether plotting has always felt like a struggle or you’re simply looking for a new perspective, this conversation will help you find a style that actually works for you.
