I’m stuck. I’m having a problem moving forward with writing The Kavakian Empire. Why? Because the plot in my story is weak. I know this but I don’t know how to fix it.
I know a plot is driven by character motivation. I know I should leave some mystery in the story. I know antagonists should try to prevent the protagonist from reaching his goal. But I can’t seem to make this space opera engaging.
I need to study more on what makes a good plot. And I need to use what I learn to meditate on how I can make this story better.
Here are a few posts I’m going to read:
Plot: Strengthen Weak Or Unfocused Plot
10-Minute Fixes to 10 Common Plot Problems
How to decide if your plot points are too weak (and how to fix them)
I’m also reading this book:

If you have any ideas or sources that can help me with fixing my story plot, please comment below. Hopefully I’ll be back soon. If I modify any of the chapters I’ve previously posted on the space opera, The Kavakian Empire, I’ll let you know.

I think your plot is engaging, as we’ve discussed before. I have questions I’d like answers too, so we know there is some mystery going on. Don’t despair! We call it a rough draft for a reason. 🙂
