Brainstorming Using the Plotting Board

Saturday April 18, 2026 9:45am - 10:45am MDT

Academy

Have you ever wanted to brainstorm a new story with a critique group (or even just with yourself), but find it's difficult to keep track of everything? If so, the plotting board can help give you a very visual picture of how your characters and plot work together to show you what you have, but also what may be missing in your story. Join Pam McCutcheon as she explains how to use the plotting board and works through a story with the audience to demonstrate.
