Developing plot is one of the most vital steps during the plotting and editing of any story. The Hero’s Journey is a common and effective template used to refine plot points and character arcs.

Thorp died on April 28, 1999 at the age of 62. His final novel was released in 1995. For years it was extremely difficult to obtain a copy of Nothing Lasts Forever in stores, libraries, and even online. Today, however, it’s easy to order in eBook form. A combination of all or many of these elements go into creating a great/memorable story. For best results, focus on one element at a time. Nakatomi Plaza is actually Fox Plaza, a famous skyscraper in Century City, Los Angeles. It opened in 1987 and almost the entire film was shot there.
