Tips for Plotting: How to Create a Fascinating Plot for Your Story Fictional plots are sometimes difficult to conceive, but once you understand the formula, creating interesting and exciting plots for your stories will become second nature. The key to successful plotting is answering questions because that is what a story is based on. When you first read a book, several questions are posed through the exposition and through dialogue, the majority of which are not answered until the last chapter.

Question #2: Who are the protagonists? Question #3: Who is the antagonist? Question #4: What are the main character's goals?
