	How To Write A Movie, Plot - The Visual Writer, LLC
		Plot is the most important part of a screenplay and is an integral part of the story.
		The easiest way to plot a story is to know two things: What your characters want, and what the situation is. When the characters are put in a situation, they are going to start working to get what they want.
		Part of the problem with plotting is that once you have planned your story through to the end, you know the ending and the thrill of discovery is finished for you.

	Plotting your story — structure - Fiction Writing
		The best place to start a plot is shortly before a point where your main character has to make a choice or solve a problem, comes into conflict with someone or something, or is forced into a situation against his will.
		Sub-plots can also be used effectively to push the main plot off the tracks to add layers of obstacles, mystery, and suspense, to intrigue your reader and keep them turning the pages to find out how the story will be resolved.
		Remember that there is a fine line in fiction between a clichéd plot where everything falls perfectly into place and the reader sees it coming a mile away, and a plot that mimics real life too much and just ends in the middle of nowhere without wrapping up any loose ends.

	The Literary Explorer - Attributes of Novels, Short Stories, & Plays
		As a plot progresses, the audience (or reader)'s expectations are aroused and they are led to consider the future course of events and actions and wonder how the characters will respond.
		In addition, one of the most famous plot devices used extensively by Shakespeare is that of the double plot, or "the play within the play." This device is a subplot, complete and interesting in its own right, which is introduced into the main plot as a way to broaden the perspective on the main plot.
		If the audience (reader) perceives the plot as a complete and ordered structure of actions directed toward the intended effect with none of the important component parts (incidents) missing, the plot is said to be a unified plot with a unity of action.

	5.6.1.2. Initial Plots/Main Effects
		The dex mean plot (or main effects plot) reaffirms the ordering of the dex scatter plot, but additional information is gleaned because the eyeball distance between the mean values gives an approximation to the least squares estimate of the factor effects.
		Because it plots a summary statistic rather than the raw data, the dex mean plot shows the main effects most clearly.
		Since these plot the raw data, they can sometimes reveal features of the data that might be masked by the dex mean plot.

	Anatomy of a Plot -- An Essay by Bill Johnson
		This question is an important aspect of creating a plot, and it's why writers sometimes confuse what's at stake in their story with the main question raised by their plot, while the two issues should be considered separately.
		The storyteller needs to see that the purpose of their plot is to escalate the drama over the outcome of scenes and character goals, and over the outcome of the story itself.
		To talk about the story's plot is to see that process of escalating the dramatic tension through the outcome of scenes, character goals and issues in a way that ties into the overall dramatic tension over the story's outcome.

		That is, they exist to make things happen in the plot, but their own conflicts and issues shouldn't be part of the story.
		Are all the events of the plot related causally-- that is, does the discovery of the letter in chapter 2 set up the release of the imprisoned protagonist in Chapter 4, and eventually the capture of the villain in the climax?
		The biggest single plot problem I see in my judging, editing, and critiquing is actually a character problem: the passive or undermotivated protagonist-- that is, a protagonist who is not truly involved in causing the plot to unfold.
