# Overview
|
|
|
|
Plot Threads are smaller connected story strands. They sit within, support or complicate a larger Plot Line. If the Plot Line is the broad lane, the thread is a specific clue, promise, suspicion, reveal path or subplot strand inside it.
|
|
|
|
Use the Plot Threads list to review the strands currently open, developing, dormant or resolved. This helps you see whether clues and promises have enough setup, whether a subplot has disappeared, and whether payoffs are still waiting.
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
|
|
A Plot Line might be "Who killed Annie?" Plot Threads might include the memory tin, the wedding photo, the false suicide theory, Simon Jones or Sophie's interference.
