On how to create stories. Tim Lott states from the outset that no one can teach someone to write novels, and the industry that has grown up around such training in recent years merely preys on people's vanity and exploits the illusions of novices. Lott himself suggests simply understanding the tools necessary to create a logical, lively, and engaging story. His main idea is that plot and character are inseparable—character development drives plot.

The classic three-act structure, or its more complex five-act variant, allows for the optimal distribution of all the important narrative elements: introduction, exposition, central turning point, climax, and resolution. And the depth and vibrancy of characters is achieved through the conflicts of their desires and needs. Lott illustrates his ideas with numerous examples from world literature and cinema: from Dickens and Austen to Coppola and Lucas. Lott conducts a master class on transforming real stories into storytelling plots using incidents from her personal life.
