2. How Serious are Plot Holes? - Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers

My writing friend and I both lead writing groups. The two of us also enjoy discussing, even debating, the merits and shortcomings regarding various novels and movies.

These gaps that deviate from the flow of logic already established in the story may seem trivial, but they may also indicate a colossal blunder. Some readers and viewers shrug these off, but for others, the inconsistenci...
