How to create a plot

A plot is formed by your character's motivations. 

Put a lot of emphasis on the creation of your character.
You need to develop your character’s personality
You need to know how your characters will react to events in your story?

The girl in the story is beatiful, has a wonderfull voice,
creative and heroic, yet sensitive and breaking.


give villain a motivation. 

Think about the unmarried untie of the girl, 
who want's the girl to stop singing (like step-mom of Cinderella story).

Think about a teacher who does not like beautiful girls
as she her young life had been disaster of beauty,
and she likes to break the hearts of beatifull and talented girls.


Put yourself into the characters shoes 
What would they say in a situation?
What would the do or how would they react in a situation?

pace your story - flow like a river 
A dramatic event after dramatic event makes story boring and repetitive

Use emotions to surprise your audience.

Use range of emotions because human emotions are like rollercoasters
We dont feel the same thing for years after years do we?
We feel happy sometimes and upset at others,

Consider your characters humanity.
Bring anger, happyness, jelousy, depression in the plotting
