The Pizza Slice Method of plotting a novel
Iโm currently working on the Pizza Slice Method of plotting a novel. In a nutshell, itโs a simple and visual way to break a story into four manageable and engaging parts (four acts), much like slicing a pizza. Each โsliceโ represents a mini-story or act within the overall narrative, with its own beginning, middle, and end. The Pizza Slice Method keeps a novel organized and ensures a natural flow of rising tension. Each slice builds on the one before it, creating a sense of momentum. Itโs especially useful for new writers because: It simplifies a complex story into smaller, digestible parts. It ensures each act has its own mini-arc (beginning, middle, end), which keeps readers engaged throughout. It helps writers focus on building tension and making sure every part of the story matters. What do you think of the concept?
