(Published!) Seven Tools to Add Depth and Length to Your Plot

November 21, 2020 by Eliana Leave a Comment

Seven Tools to Add Depth and Length to Your Plot

I just had an article published on Kingdom Pen! It’s called, “Seven Tools to Add Depth and Length to Your Story.”

In their own words, Kingdom Pen exists to provide a trusted learning and development ecosystem for Christian writers. They are honored to help authors at all stages of their journey make progress toward new levels of success.

Here is a sneak peak of my article!

Does your plot need some help? Is your outline looking meh? Well, you’ve come to the right place, my friend.

I have seven suggestions for you. They can be added to almost any story for more length and depth, and they’re helpful with brainstorming too.

But beware, these aren’t things to be plopped in your story willy nilly. If you aren’t careful, you could end up with a soap-opera-style novel piled with cliches.

As you take these items, try to put a twist on how you use them and make sure they work for your outline. Don’t add an extra subplot unless it strengthens the core of your story.

That said, I hope these plot devices get your gears turning and make your book a little more epic.
