The Save the Cat structure, created by Blake Snyder, was originally created for films, but has become one of the most trusted, tried-and-true plot structures for novelists as well! Once you're familiar with the beats, they become an easy guide to built an entire plot--and that's what we're doing today! Courtesy of our plot generator, let's turn a concept into a novel in just 20 minutes, and explain how this structure works along the way.
