Learning how to develop a story so that you take readers on an unforgettable journey is key to becoming a great novelist. Here are 10 steps to ensure that the final draft of your book has a winning, memorable plot:

Step 1: Study effective examples of plot development

Reading is a great way to improve at any stage of the writing process because great writers give us inspiring examples of how to get each element of craft right.

Some writers are particularly noted for their command of plot. Even if their work lies outside of your usual genre interests, read their novels for insights. While you do so, keep a reading journal and note effective elements of their storytelling. Ask, for example:

• How do the characters in the novel change over time?
• What is the main sequence of events (what happens in the novel and when?)
• What are the locations the story takes place in? What benefit does each setting offer to the overall story structure and development?

A few experts of story development you could read: John le Carré, J.R.R. Tolkien (whose Lord of the Rings has been voted the best single plot arc in a multi-novel series), Terry Pratchett, and Stephen King. You can read the work of contemporary bestselling authors for insights (particularly regarding what is marketable). Yet many classic authors (e.g. Charles Dickens and Henry James) are equally good at taking story premises and propelling them through interesting and surprising twists and turns.

Step 2: Use a plotting process that will shape your story

Great plots begin with curiosity and good ideas.

It helps if your story begins with an intriguing hypothetical situation (for example, the premise of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four: A tyrannical political regime has criminalized independent thought as ‘thoughtcrime'). A good story idea should be fleshed out through a focused plotting process that will shape your story, however.

Use Now Novel's story outlining tool to brainstorm great story ideas and create a detailed outline from start to finish.

Developing a detailed summary is a useful exercise for letting ideas for characters and plot points grow and settle. You might depart from your outline substantially while you draft. Even so, the exercise will help you start thinking about your book as a connected whole.

Step 3: Create a timeline of your novel's plot events

Developing a story is easier when you understand the ‘when' of your story.

As an exercise, create a timeline of your novel's plot events. Make each branch in your timeline a chapter, with a summary of the most basic plot details. For example, ‘Main character learns identity of parents, prepares to try find them.')

If you aren't intending to plot your entire novel in advance, create a timeline all the same. Fill it out in summary form as you draft so that you have a condensed visual reference for recalling where your story has lead you so far, and what the overarching flow of events looks like.

Having a document such as this helps you to navigate between the detail-oriented process of drafting scenes and chapters, and the structural challenge of seeing the greater picture.

Step 4: Make characters develop in intriguing ways

Once you've done all of the above, it's time to start thinking about how your character(s) will develop.

At the start of writing a novel, identify each primary character's main goals.

Start brainstorming how these coupled with personality traits could lead them to develop.

A shy college student who wants to become a leading scholar, for example, might encounter a lecturer with whom he establishes an uncommon, lasting friendship. Obstacles to the character reaching his goals could include scholarship woes or false accusations of plagiarism.

You can create detailed ideas for characters simply by following the prompts in the ‘Character' section of Now Novel's story dashboard.

Whatever your story idea, make your characters develop in interesting ways. Lag every few seconds. Show how their wants (or fears) affect their choices. Show the consequences that lead from there.

Step 5: Make each of the ‘5 W's' change

A Plot Story Deluxe Trailer

In novel-writing and journalism alike, a ‘story' is made up of the ‘5 w's' – ‘who', ‘what', ‘why', ‘where' and ‘when'. Who are the important characters in your story? What is the situation they find themselves in and why? Where and when does the story take place?

A great story doesn't just contain satisfying answers for these five questions. It also shows some development in each of these areas.

Your main character could be a trainee policewoman living in a rural community, for example. She's considering giving up her career path because she finds small town life stifling. Suddenly, a local triple homicide ropes her into the most daunting (as well as thrilling) elements of police work.

The ‘who' can change: Perhaps the trainee toughens up and becomes highly competent in her job as a result.

The ‘what' (her goal) can shift: She realizes her calling is serving her community, and this could be because of new, meaningful interactions and relationships she forms in the course of doing her police work.

She might eventually leave for the big city, too (a change in ‘where'), wiser and more experienced.

If you make each of these elements of plot change convincingly, you'll take the reader on a journey and will have developed your story. Slot navigator golf.

One way to make sure this development happens is to storyboard your book:

Step 6: Outline scenes to create a storyboard

Whether you use index cards or other small pieces of paper such as post-its, a storyboard is a useful device for developing your story.

Try to summarize the key events of each scene in as little as two lines, which of your characters it will involve, and what the scene's purpose is.

You can do all this in the Scene Builder tool in the Now Novel dashboard, and import it to view alongside your working document using our free Google Docs plugin.

As you plot your novel and plan your story development, you can reorder scenes as your story dictates, until you have a sequence of scenes that makes sense to you.

Sometimes you'll find the order of two or more scenes should be reversed. Other times you might find that an early scene might be better shifted towards the end of the story due to its content or mood. This process will help you make your story flow and develop smoothly.

Step 7: Learn how to develop a story using subplots

A subplot is a secondary or subordinate plot that supports your main story arc.

To use a well-known example, in Harper Lee's famous novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the children's fascination with their mysterious, reclusive neighbour Arthur ‘Boo' Radley (and their eventual encounter with him) is a subplot to the main story (a trial exposing race politics in which the children's father Atticus is involved).

In Lee's book, events involving Boo Radley support the main arc. The children receive a practical lesson through their encounters with Boo. They learn that inventing fantastical stories about others and turning them into bogeymen is a dubious alternative to confronting fear of the unknown and getting ‘the whole story' about a person. In this way, Lee uses her subplot to underscore the issues at heart of the story's central legal trial.

Step 8: Incorporate character-driven and action-driven story elements

‘Change' is what propels a story forward. It's brought about by character-driven and action-driven scenes.

In a thriller novel, for example, character-driven scenes show reader the stakes (the main character's loving relationship with their child, for example). This makes action-driven sequences such as high-speed chases all the more nail-biting and intense since we are aware of all the personal, cherished things driving the main character's will to survive.

To develop your story satisfyingly, make sure you balance character-driven scenes with action driven ones.

L plates nz electrical. Even if you are writing something less dramatic and violent such as a regency romance, the same applies. Show scenes where your main characters undertake mainly action-based activities – a carriage or train ride, for example. Use these as points of transition between scenes that deepen and grow your characters.

As you write and near the end of your first draft, it's useful to ask questions about story development so you can decide whether or not your story shows enough growth and change:

Step 9: Ask yourself important questions about story development

Once you've written the bulk of your novel, ask yourself these questions about your story's development:

• How have the main characters changed in the course of the story?
• Why have they changed?
• What have the characters (and readers) learned about the story's central situation or premise that they didn't know at the start?
• What are the core themes of the story? (For example: ‘Triumph over adversity', or ‘the danger of obsession')

Once you have answers to the above, keep them in mind while revising. Is there any point in the story where a small tweak could make these elements more apparent?

Perhaps your main character's growth isn't as clear as you would like. Or else there hasn't been enough change or development to illustrate your central theme. Keeping track of your plot – not just what happens but the reasons for plot events as well as their consequences – will help you create a more satisfying story.

Step 10: Get helpful feedback on your story arc

Once you've looked over your plot and are satisfied that your story develops compellingly, share your work with other writers for helpful feedback. Get peer feedback from other writer's for free in our critique forum, or work with a writing coach who will guide you as you resolve any patches or holes in your plot.

Plot[edit]

There are four interwoven stories shown in parallel.

Shilpa's story: Jyothi and her son Rasukutty are awaiting the return of Rasukutty's father Manickam, who abandoned the family seven years ago. To their shock, Manickam arrives from Mumbai as a trans woman named Shilpa. Rasukutty wants to introduce Shilpa to his friends at school. On the way, a bigoted cop detains Shilpa, and she is forced into fellating a corrupt police officer named Berlin. Shilpa faces more harassment and humiliation at the school. Distraught, she buys a ticket to return to Mumbai. On the way home from school Shilpa loses Rasukutty, and seeks help from the police. She meets Berlin again and he starts beating her. Shilpa puts a death curse on Berlin in the traditional style of a hijra and escapes. Eventually, Shilpa finds Rasukutty at home. Rasukutty reveals he knows about Shilpa's intention of abandoning them again, and confronts her emotionally. Shilpa realises that Rasukutty and Jyothi are ready to accept her as she is, and they stay together.

The TV story: Five young men (Gaaji, Soori, Mohan, Vasanth, and Thuyavan) all skip school and gather to watch a porn movie at Thuyavan's home, only to find out that the porn star is Soori's mom Leela. Soori breaks the TV in anger and runs away crying. Thuyavan, afraid of his father finding out about the broken TV, enlists Gaaji and Vasanth into getting enough money for a new TV by the evening. They accept a job from a local gangster, but fail miserably. They try to burgle a local merchant, which fails too. At his home, they are confronted by a girl with magical powers who reveals she is an alien. She duplicates Gaaji, keeping one clone for herself for companionship. The friends get money from her to buy a new TV. They toss out the old broken TV through the broken roof of a disused building, and set off to a movie theater to finally watch a porn movie like they'd originally wanted.

Leela's story: Soori is angrily running towards Leela with a screwdriver upon finding out she was in a porn film, when he trips, falls and stabs himself in the abdomen. A distraught Leela takes him to the hospital, and his father Arputham (formerly known as Dhanasekaran) is informed about the accident. Arputham is a survivor from the 2004 tsunami who believes that he was saved by God in the form of a Jesus statue which he held onto when the tsunami struck, converting to Christianity after the tsunami but currently having a crisis of faith. He subjects Soori to faith healing at his chapel, while Leela strongly prefers modern medicine but struggles to arrange medical expenses. Arputham's crisis of faith was triggered by a conversation with Shilpa earlier, when Shilpa, having lost Rasukutty, confesses her guilt over kidnapping and delivering children to criminal gangs. Arputham states there is no forgiveness for her. Before leaving, Shilpa tells Arputham that she too survived the tsunami by holding onto a rock but didn't attribute divinity to it. Arputham breaks the statue in a rage and finds long-forgotten diamonds inside it, which he uses to pay for Soori's medical expenses. Leela asks him whether he'd still have faith if he'd been saved by clinging onto a teddy bear instead of Jesus. He reflects on that question. Soori reconciles with Leela.

Vaembu and Mugil's story: An unhappily married woman Vaembu impulsively has sex with an old boyfriend while her husband is away, when suddenly the boyfriend dies in bed. Her husband Mugil returns to find his dead body, which they have to hide from inconvenient neighbors. They talk about their dissatisfaction with their marriage. Eventually, they manage to smuggle the corpse out of town but they are caught by Berlin, the same corrupt police officer from Shilpa's story, who blackmails the couple for sexual favors from Vaembu. After inflicting much trauma on them, as he advances towards Vaembu, intending to rape her, the old TV thrown by the boys from earlier falls on his head and kills him. The couple get rid of both the dead bodies, and reconcile with each other.

Epilogue: (The epilogue's voiceover is interwoven with the endings of each of the four stories.) The friends from the TV story finally go to watch a porn movie at the theater. The movie starts with a doctor speaking philosophically about the mysteries of life and patterns through the universe, with everything being interconnected in ways as yet unknown to us. He then says he's going to reveal some of those secrets to the audience now, and winks. The nurse nearby winks and starts to take her clothes off, as the porn movie titles show its name Vaazhvin Ragasiyam ('The Secret of Life').

Production[edit]

In October 2016, director Thiagarajan Kumararaja announced his next film after a gap of five years. The film was initially titled as 'Aneedhi Kadhaikal' with Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil were reported to be featuring in the lead roles. Later, Samantha was signed to play a female lead role.^[9][10]P. C. Sreeram was chosen as the cinematographer while Yuvan Shankar Raja composed the music. Kumararaja also produced the film along with East West Dream Work Entertainment and Alchemy Vision Workz.^[11] Following a series of schedule changes during the filming process, the makers renamed the title as 'Super Deluxe' and cinematographer P. C. Sreeram walked out of the project, and was subsequently replaced by P. S. Vinod. Nirav Shah joined the film as additional cinematographer. Directors Nalan Kumarasamy, Neelan K. Sekar and Mysskin have written the additional screenplay for this film, with each writing one of them writing a portion of the hyperlink.

After completing the first shooting schedule of Junga, Sethupathi began filming for Super Deluxe. He plays a full-fledged feminine character in the film. A still of his character was released on September 2018.^[12]At first, Ramya Krishnan was approached to play the role of Leela in the film, but due to some problems on the director's side she couldn't continue. So in order to replace her, Nadhiya Moidu was chosen for the role but again due to some problems, Ramya replaced her and was back onboard becoming the second lead of the film after Samantha.

Release[edit]

The film had its theatrical release on 29 March 2019.

Critical reception[edit]

Baradwaj Rangan, in his review of the film for Film Companion, praised the director on how he had concentrated on both the larger structure of the story and also on the minute details. He wrote 'This is an utterly unique film, a brave film. While watching Super Deluxe, I felt what Pauline Kael described in her review of The Godfather Part II: 'the exploding effects keep accumulating. About midway, I began to feel that the film was expanding in my head like a soft bullet.' I'll just say I've never seen anything like this in Tamil cinema, with its mix of the sacred and the profane, the epic and the intimate, the earthly and the otherworldly, the pop-cultural and the philosophical. It's a film you want to view as much with a microscope (zooming in on the details) as a telescope (zooming out to the bigger picture).'^[13] In a later Film Companion segment he also mentioned that he had refrained from watching the film twice, in order to keep the movie 'perfect' in his mind and not find flaws.

Srivatsan S, reviewing for The Hindu, wrote 'No other filmmaker has probably romanticized the Tamil cinema universe with pop culture references as much as Kumararaja. In one of the earliest stretch, a character says, 'Dai rascal! Enna maranthutiya?' For a moment, it felt as though Kumararaja was asking this question to us: it's been eight years since he made a film. If Super Deluxe is what you get from a filmmaker who was in exile, then you don't mind waiting a few years from now till he comes up with his next eccentric film.'. M Suganth, in his review of the film for The Times of India, wrote 'There is black comedy, double entendres, swear words, WTF moments, political and social commentary, romance, sentiment and even a musing on what it means to be life on Earth. There is ambition, genius, and also a beating heart.'^[14]

Home video[edit]

The film was made available for video on demand on YouTube.^[15]The film was made available for streaming on Netflix as well.^[16]

Production[edit]

In October 2016, director Thiagarajan Kumararaja announced his next film after a gap of five years. The film was initially titled as 'Aneedhi Kadhaikal' with Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil were reported to be featuring in the lead roles. Later, Samantha was signed to play a female lead role.^[9][10]P. C. Sreeram was chosen as the cinematographer while Yuvan Shankar Raja composed the music. Kumararaja also produced the film along with East West Dream Work Entertainment and Alchemy Vision Workz.^[11] Following a series of schedule changes during the filming process, the makers renamed the title as 'Super Deluxe' and cinematographer P. C. Sreeram walked out of the project, and was subsequently replaced by P. S. Vinod. Nirav Shah joined the film as additional cinematographer. Directors Nalan Kumarasamy, Neelan K. Sekar and Mysskin have written the additional screenplay for this film, with each writing one of them writing a portion of the hyperlink.

After completing the first shooting schedule of Junga, Sethupathi began filming for Super Deluxe. He plays a full-fledged feminine character in the film. A still of his character was released on September 2018.^[12]At first, Ramya Krishnan was approached to play the role of Leela in the film, but due to some problems on the director's side she couldn't continue. So in order to replace her, Nadhiya Moidu was chosen for the role but again due to some problems, Ramya replaced her and was back onboard becoming the second lead of the film after Samantha.

Release[edit]

The film had its theatrical release on 29 March 2019.

Critical reception[edit]

Baradwaj Rangan, in his review of the film for Film Companion, praised the director on how he had concentrated on both the larger structure of the story and also on the minute details. He wrote 'This is an utterly unique film, a brave film. While watching Super Deluxe, I felt what Pauline Kael described in her review of The Godfather Part II: 'the exploding effects keep accumulating. About midway, I began to feel that the film was expanding in my head like a soft bullet.' I'll just say I've never seen anything like this in Tamil cinema, with its mix of the sacred and the profane, the epic and the intimate, the earthly and the otherworldly, the pop-cultural and the philosophical. It's a film you want to view as much with a microscope (zooming in on the details) as a telescope (zooming out to the bigger picture).'^[13] In a later Film Companion segment he also mentioned that he had refrained from watching the film twice, in order to keep the movie 'perfect' in his mind and not find flaws.

Srivatsan S, reviewing for The Hindu, wrote 'No other filmmaker has probably romanticized the Tamil cinema universe with pop culture references as much as Kumararaja. In one of the earliest stretch, a character says, 'Dai rascal! Enna maranthutiya?' For a moment, it felt as though Kumararaja was asking this question to us: it's been eight years since he made a film. If Super Deluxe is what you get from a filmmaker who was in exile, then you don't mind waiting a few years from now till he comes up with his next eccentric film.'. M Suganth, in his review of the film for The Times of India, wrote 'There is black comedy, double entendres, swear words, WTF moments, political and social commentary, romance, sentiment and even a musing on what it means to be life on Earth. There is ambition, genius, and also a beating heart.'^[14]
