Interesting. Many lawyers aim to work like this in trials. They write their closing submissions and then work backwards - figuring out the evidence they need to prove along the way in order to close effectively.
Most of my fictional writing has been literary short stories. My general process has been to write until I find the character in a compelling situation of struggle and then go back and rewrite from the beginning, but cut out all the boring parts and reformat the narrative into a three act structure.
Thanks so much for sharing... Ive never seen this and it’s super helpful. Im wondering though if Plot Point 2 and Pinch Point 2 on the diagram should be switched in position... it makes more sense to me if switched.

Had no idea. That’s cool
wow, that is such an interesting use of storytelling.
This makes so much sense to me. It clarified the scaffolding what I was looking for.
There are a million zillion plot structures but this is one of the better ones, especially connecting the end state of the character to the hook.
The reminded plot structure helps keep some stories even more interesting.
