Turning points keep your story moving in surprising and organic directions to more fully engage the reader and audience and satisfy universal expectations.
I spoke about Turning Points in Step 11 of the wacky Plot Series posted on YouTube.
I move with less resistance and greater joy if I follow the energy. The energy has taken me to presenting the information caught on the video camera rather than post the words here.
So, rather than read plot tips, stop by and watch them.
The steps are presented in an organized format from Step One to Step Thirty-Two. We film Step 12 tomorrow.
Feel free to randomly click on any video. The 5 to 8 minute presentation will leave you energizes and with a new sensibility of your story.
This is all new to me. Hope you'll follow me into the great unknown...

Hi Martha,
How would you define what a plot point is and how many should a story have? I have seen so many story models dictating 5, 8, 10, 12, 22...
I'm so confused about how I should structure my story. I know that there should be the inciting incident, the crisis, and the climax, all of which are significant, but I'm so confused about what other plot points/elements should go in a story?
Any help is appreciated.
Thx
