She's Crafty: Plot

One thing I rarely lack is plot. Even though my three manuscripts are completely different adventures (contemporary, fantasy/magical realism, and historical fiction), they all have plenty of action. But is action enough for creating a fabulous plot? What are my character arcs? Are my characters changed by the end? What action changes them?

So while I flip my soon-to-be queried WIP from 3rd to 1st, I day dream about my historical fiction character and her plot. Because I'm a plotter, I like to have the whole story ironed out sooner than later.
