No Plot Just Vibes
In fiction, a plot is the sequence of connected events that make up a narrative. These events aren’t random things that happen–there’s a relationship between them, usually a causative one. Generally, a plot in fiction leads up to a climax that answers a central question or resolves a central conflict.

Unless you’re writing really experimental fiction, your story has a plot in it. Narrative works have a plot. If you want to be a writer, it is a good idea to understand how to structure a good plot.

However! Many writers overemphasize the importance of plot. They focus on plot so much they forget about everything else. In this episode of Rite Gud, we are joined once again by Karlo Yeager Rodríguez, who is going to tell us why plot isn’t everything.
