Craft a Sci-Fi Novel With Me – Story Structure

Come behind the scenes as I plan the story structure for my latest science fiction novel — a sci-fi retelling of Swiss Family Robinson. In this writing vlog, I break down the hook, inciting incident, first plot point, pinch points, and midpoint, and explore how character arc and story structure work together to drive a compelling narrative. I draw on story theory from K.M. Weiland and Abbie Emmons, digging into how structure supports character-driven storytelling while still delivering a strong sci-fi adventure. You’ll see how my protagonist’s fear, misbelief, and impossible choices shape the plot from the very first page.
