About the Plot Dude
Who is this Dude, anyway?
I’m The Plot Dude—writer, story coach, and firm believer that good structure doesn’t kill creativity.
I help fiction writers get to “The End” without losing their minds (or their characters).
You don’t need to write like anyone else. You just need a story that works.
The Plot Abides.
