Thanks for sharing this link. I hadn't heard the term "episodic writing," so this information was something I definitely needed to add to my body of knowledge on craft. I can see how, especially in my earliest manuscripts, I was guilty of producing episodic writing. Now that I've read this excellent post, I'll be better able to spot that particular weakness should it crop up in my work--and to eliminate it.
Hi Camy, and thanks. This is interesting and timely--several ladies and I recently had a discussion regarding plot. After reading the article, at least two of us have questions regarding how much control secondary characters can have in a storyline.
Camy,
