Think of a Journey

Story is a journey

Plot tells WHY of the journey
Plot Elements (GENRE) tell how the journey progresses (wagon, car, spaceship, feet, riverboat)
Plot Techniques (STYLE) tell how the vehicle is energized (steam, gas, crystal, faith)
Plot devices (the AUTHOR’S individuality) tell the quirky twists and turns along the way.
