Goodman & EllaSky

You ever wonder how a tight, almost surgical plot can either keep a story safe or squeeze it out of life? I’m thinking about that line between structure and feeling. How do you see it?
Goodman
A plot that’s tighter than a surgeon’s scalpel can keep the story safe, but it can also crush the feeling out of it. A looser one might let the narrative drift. The trick is to build a strong skeleton but leave the heart room to breathe.

Sounds like a good balance. Keep the bones tight but give the heart its own breathing room. That way the story can hold itself without feeling boxed in.
