Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. This week, I'm going to write about plotting.

All novels have either a plot or a story line.
A plot is event-driven. A plot has its point of recognition delayed to near the end. A story line is character-driven.

In a story line, the reader may see the point of recognition but the protagonist doesn't.
