Plot Template Descriptions
We provide templates based on widely recognized storytelling theories and screenplay structures. These are designed to be practical tools for your actual writing process:
5-Act Structure: A classic "Beginning-Middle-End" setup with clear conflicts and turning points.
7-Point Story Structure: Focuses on key plot beats and pivotal transitions.
Save the Cat!: A popular, beat-sheet-driven structure widely used in screenwriting.
Hero’s Journey: The archetypal narrative often found in Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and epic storytelling.
You can choose any template that best fits your narrative goals and style.
