NaNoWriMo Fantasy Novel Workshop: Your Villain is the Story, Your Heroes are the Plot Action

Now that we've established plot points, narrative arcs, and some other basic terms and ideas, let's draw your storyline and showcase how, while the action follows the hero(es) primarily, the story is about the villain. Remember our villain from a prior workshop? She's the impetus for the whole adventure and a reason for there to be conflict, exploration, and more. So starting with your villain, establish the reasons for there to be action going back to before the story actually begins and carry things forward. You'll know what your hero will find, when, and how the villain will eventually react when the ultimate plan begins to be discovered or foiled!
