So here are a few things that novel writing has taught me (so far) about plot…

From novel #1: Action and motion are not the same as plot. But you can’t have plot without them.

From novel #2: Characters and relationships are not the same as plot. But you can’t have plot without them.

From novel #3: Problems and motivation are not the same as plot. But you can’t have plot without them.

Obviously, there’s is still a lot I don’t know about plot.
