Is your plot broken? 

First, what is a broken plot? 

It's when you start out with one conflict but lose confidence in your ability to move that conflict forward through a series of actions. So you shift to another conflict or even a third.

And pretty soon, readers are disoriented because they don't know where to focus. That's because there's more than one story happening.

In today's episode of Writer Unleashed, we'll explore:

• The 3 things you need to get clear on to fix or avoid a broken plot
• The essence of plot
• What conflict is and what it isn't
• The relationship between plot and conflict
• And 5 questions to help  you stay anchored in your story's main throughline
