Re: How To Make a Low Key Plot Work

[(Anonymous)]

I love low key stakes, I feel that it gives more room for character work. Low stakes can be just as rewarding as big stakes when you really care about the characters and feel emotionally invested in their struggle; even if it is just against weeds. I find what works best is not only a character that you care about, but one that is also enjoyable to just be around, with a very personable writing style. The right character + complementary writing style can make going to the grocery store an adventure.

Unlike most big stake stories these days where so much plot gets shoved in that there's no character work beyond broad archetypes. It's boring.

Thanks . Yeah. TBH I feel like certain plots are considered better than others is that the lower stakes relaxed, low conflict ones can be trickier to do right. And sadly a lot of the publishing world is like a business that says things that make money are right and things that are riskier are bad.

But that's just me.
