I checked for a new video on this channel just a few hours ago and now here it is. Nice! I missed your content.

When you're literally editing an epic sci-fi with a flat arc paragon protagonist after Ellen's story structure series saved your revision and you've been waiting for her Flat Arc video for months and half-way through revising a super hard chapter in the second quarter Ellen drops a 47 minute video on ONLY the first half of the Flat Arc story structure. Thank you so, so, so much. I have never needed this exact writing lesson video more than I have right now, Ellen. I am so hyped for this!!!!!

Awesome! I hope it helps, and good luck with your book!

When the gods bless you with an Ellen Brock video, you know it's going to be a good day/week/month

The information density of your videos is unmatched.

GIRL. I just started working on a novel three days ago where as I'm outlining, I'm realizing that the main character has a flat arc. Then just now i see this video in my subscriptions. Brilliant.

I've been planning a rewrite of my current WIP as a positive arc, but I'm realizing that it's really a flat arc.

Thanks for this. I'm about to write my 9th novel with a flat arc MC which I haven't done before. You are the best Ellen

She...she doesn't age. She looks the same in all her videos since 11 years ago 🤯. Is she immortal? Is she a deity? May we heed her words and gain knowledge from her wisdom!

[@sosimple3585]

Her age has a flat arc.

MCU Steve Rogers/Captain America is a good example of a well executed flat character.

This was a very interesting video, there are not enough people covering this. But I do miss the flat arc of mystery novels. I tend to arc the villain in those, if anyone. Maybe you could consider looking at a mystery too for the next part?

[@mariano7107]

I was wondering about that. Maybe the detective in a mystery novel is not really considered a flat arc? Kind of like a superhero or a character like Indiana Jones, typical detectives in mystery novels have pretty much no arc at all. Would be interesting to get a clarification on this.

do you have tips on writing romance?
