Heading into the weekend with a bit of sci-fi fun! Check out The Night the Sky Misbehaved, a short piece about an alien who makes the mistake of eating Earth sugar for the very first time.
It was built entirely from random card prompts under a fifteen-minute clock. Drop by our feed to read it for free and see how we play with story layouts.
We are officially launching our brand-new podcast, Play & Ponder with PlotWeaver: Cards of Creation.
For our first episode, we are sharing a December 2024 recording where Marty Handfield and Scott DeJong used our system to build two completely different stories with the same Pattern.
Check it out and if you want to get on the participant list send me a direct message and I will secure your spot.

Listen now | What happens when you lock a psychological nightmare and a zero-gravity quarantine crisis into the exact same structural framework?
Space Pickles is unlocked. We have made this wonderfully funny guest piece by Marty Handfield free for the week with a fresh visual layout.
A marble fountain that drips sparkling water. A stone statue that suddenly speaks. A daydream that turns to razor-sharp ice against your skin.
Solitude by Scott DeJong is free for the week with a new visual look. This haunting story is the central focus of our debut podcast episode dropping tomorrow.
A good narrative framework deserves striking presentation.
We’re giving our public story archives a major design upgrade to show developing authors what’s possible when you map your ideas visually first.
Tap our profile to see the fresh look we just dropped for The Cost of Paradise.
A neon marketplace. A fatal countdown. A hero looking into a mirror. 'Liability of a Hero' is live with the original 2024 storyboards!

At the Edge of the Lane is free for the week on substack! A #CircularPlot story by Matt Gardner about physical constraints, paper prototypes, and breaking the blank-page syndrome.
Tracking multiple character arcs at the same time without losing your story's pacing is incredibly tough. That’s where the Parallel Plot Pattern comes in.
In Matt Gardner's story 'Notice of Reassessment', he uses it to follow a farmer, a market vendor, and a child until their separate storylines come together at a tense town hall meeting.

A washed-up space captain. A humid bistro. A line of dialogue that changed everything.

In the story 'Master Craftsman', Aditya Mohan Dewal uses a physical object, a bent chisel, as the pivot point for his entire resolution.
Written using the Inverted Plot Pattern, this story shows how starting with the "Result" (the theft) and working backward to the "Reason" (the clash of values) creates immediate engagement.
