the tragic plot embryo

hello cinnamon bun,

it's another plot embryo video! because this method is truly magical and honestly i'm starting a cult around it.

do you struggle with writing antagonists? historically i was awful at it. i'd always been terrible at humanising my villains or giving my antagonists real depth.

but, with the tragic plot embryo i've been able to create honestly heart-wrenching antagonists i'm totally in love with.

the tragic plot embryo is my own homebrew take on the framework, specially designed for tragedies, villains and antagonists.

eat your hearts out, campbell and harmon - this one's all me!

in this video i'll:

  • review the quadrants of the tragic plot embryo

  • go through the plot points of the tragic plot embryo

  • break down a tragic plot and fit it into the tragic plot embryo

get ready for some deeply unhappy endings 😈👇
