Jane Rogers (2007) provides more insights on how the plot is narrated in the narrative. Thus, it is within the structure of the novel that the plot is constructed throughout storytelling. In attempting to characterize and define the structure of the novel, Morley (2007) refers to Christopher Booker who explains in The Seven Basic Plots (2004) that, generally, stories have similar forms, which is demonstrated by the fact that they are deeply inspired by what he calls “the contours of human development” divided into three stages: “initial success”, then comes “crisis”, and finally “success or failure.” (Morley, 2007, pp.165). Hence, the fictional space created by the author embodies the structure or form of the novel. He qualifies the process of writing the story by “a four-dimensional landscape” that is created within that space, where “space and time become one-a continuum.” (Morley, 2007, pp.164). In the first article of the Creative Writing 101 series, David Morley (2007) describes the blank page as “an open space” in any type of narrative, whether it is a flash fiction, a short story, or a novel.
