But first, let’s look at Daniel Palmer’s step-by-step approach. This talk combined with David Morrell’s excellent and inspiring speech on story structure have given me a lot to think about in terms of plot. One of my favorite talks was by Daniel Palmer, who offered a step-by-step look at how to develop an idea into a story. Even in the plot-centered panels and talks, the speakers stressed how important it is to make sure that plot serves the character at least as much as character serves the plot. In fact, if I were to pinpoint a theme of all the panels I sat in on at the conference, I would say that it would be: building dimensional characters and staying true to them. While at ThrillerFest, I had a chance to attend a couple of talks that discussed plot and story structure, though even then those sessions did also emphasize the importance of character. ![]()
