Plot Structure: The Building Blocks to Every Story

In order to write a good story, you need to know the fundamentals about plot structure! We connect building a Hogwarts LEGO set to the importance of strong foundations in a story. Then we analyze each section of Gustav Freytag’s Pyramid: exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution (or Denouement).
