## Summary

A comprehensive system of plot development, and an adequate supply of material to draw from, are almost indispensable to the writer who turns out a large number of stories each year, and to the occasional scribbler who has little knowledge of plot form and structure it is of even greater value. Years of experience as a writer, literary critic and student of the short story have brought out these facts: The writer who is “long” on writing is generally “short” on ideas, and an inadequate knowledge of the plot and its development causes more aspiring authors to fail than any other one thing.
