Plotkind’s open workshop
Narrative analysis
Explore the stakes, point of view and tension in an excerpt, with quoted passages and revision ideas.
Give it a try
Start with the example or add your own text. Run the tool, then copy or download the result to keep working on it.
How to use it
Paste a scene. The AI suggests up to three observations: an exact passage, its possible effect on the reader and a revision question. Check each interpretation against your story.
Make the result your own
Use the quotations to choose revision ideas, then reread them in the context of your novel. The observations focus on the supplied excerpt and give you starting points to explore.
Understand what moves a scene forward
Explore what your scene lets a reader understand and feel: stakes, a decision or a shift in tension. The quotations give you concrete points to work on. To go deeper into voices and subtext in an exchange, continue with dialogue analysis.
