Remember: Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations. Plot is observed after the fact rather than before. It cannot precede action. It is the chart that remains when an action
is through. That is all Plot ever should be. It is human desire let
run, running, and reaching a goal. It cannot be mechanical. It can
only be dynamic. So, stand aside, forget targets, let the characters, your fingers, body, blood, and heart do.
Story is honorable and trustworthy; plot is shifty, and best kept under house arrest.

Then too there were lots of weddings in Wharton and Austen. There were all kinds of irresistible gloomy men.
