It’s a simple task to explain what
throughline means. It’s making sure each scene feels connected to the main
story. Whether it’s pivotal or not, even if it’s a scene without any of the
main characters in it, or part of a sub-plot, if it starts to feel unconnected the
reader will lose interest, and any momentum or tension you’ve built up will
dissipate.
What isn’t so simple is to
explain how to make sure YOUR story has a strong throughline.
