Are you a follow-the-flow writer or a plan-it-all-out writer? Or something in between? Even those who do not plot initially revise and craft their work to hook the reader. Using a standard mystery plot and Scrivener, a software writing technology, explore the difference between plot and story. Can technology help? In this class, we examine classic theory and elements of the plot; use a specific plot example, a simple mystery; and apply the popular software, Scrivener. We begin with literary theory then we explore pitfalls and possibilities of support in using software to write.
