How To Avoid Writing Plot Holes

🎬 How to Outline a Story (Without Losing Your Mind) | Truby, Harmon, Snyder + Real Talk Writing Advice Plotting your story can feel like juggling chainsaws blindfolded—but it doesn’t have to be. In this video, we break down how to outline your fiction using John Truby’s 7 Steps, Dan Harmon’s Story Circle, and Blake Snyder’s Beat Sheet... all with examples you’ll actually recognize (yep, we’re talking Pixar, Disney, and DreamWorks). But this isn’t just theory. I’m walking you through how I went from quitting a terrible first draft to building a story I was proud of—one breadcrumb, breakdown, and awkward scene at a time. You’ll learn: ✅ How to outline from whatever you already have (character, scene, weird AI Pinocchio idea…) ✅ How to structure each scene using the “E.B. Five F*** Q’s” ✅ What to do when your story feels flat (and how to fix it with fear, fire, or failure) ✅ Why kid’s movies are secretly the best plotting teachers ✅ And when to break your outline without breaking your story Whether you're writing your first novel or fixing your fifteenth, this is for anyone who's ever asked, “Why is my plot going nowhere?” ✍️ What’s your favorite movie that nails story structure? I’ll reply with whether it follows Truby, Harmon, Snyder—or something totally different. 📘 Need help outlining? Check out https://eabeck.gumroad.com/l/htgrfa 📘Need help plotting scenes?
