In the first discussion of the concept of "plot" given by [1] I, maybe, understood two different, but complementary, concepts of plot. Mckee gives us a definition of Plot as: > To PLOT mean to navigate through the dangerous terrain of story and when confronted by a dozen branching possibilities to choose the correct path. Plot is the writer's choice of events and their design in time. So, here, plot means that "organization of events" in a structural sense: for instance, scene 3 will occur after scene 2. But also could mean something that deals with "deeper things" like emotion, and then the scene 2 could occur after the scene 3 just because something about scene 2 fits better concerning the "emotional time-line" of a character. So how to use the concept of plot in writing? * * * [1] MCKEE.R. _Story_. Itbooks, New York, 1997.
