Episode 8: Story Arc within Genre- Fantasy / Plotting a Trilogy ft. C.C. Tyler

In this episode of The Architecture of Story, authors Meg Rosenthal and C.C. Tyler break down key definitions within the genre of fantasy and discuss various plotting techniques they use to outline their stories. They talk at length about the arcs needed within each individual book, but the necessity of a global arc tracking over the series as a whole as well. Saves the Cat and the Four Act Story Structure are both dissected in this conversation. *Recommend watching Episode 2: Saves the Cat prior to this episode so certain definitions make sense.
