Book Architecture by Stuart Horwitz

Flexibility over Formula

Plotting and outlining should be flexible - trust the natural flow of the story.

Role of Characters

Try to understand each character's motivations, conflicts, and arcs. See how the characters interact with the world and each other to drive the plot forward.

Revisions and Rewrites

As new insights into the story unfold, the structure can and should change to better reflect the developing narrative.

Architectural Blueprint

Don't follow a fixed formula for structure, but build your own flexible blueprint - the story will evolve naturally while maintaining a solid structure.

Plot as Discovery

Focus on the evolution of character and theme and allow the plot to develop in response to these elements.

Scene Inventory

List every scene in the book and identify its purpose, how it contributes to character development, and how it ties to the overarching theme.

Importance of Theme

A clear thematic focus can help guide the plotting process.

Three-Act Structure

Look to understand the emotional and thematic beats of the story and organize everything around them.
