This is a great outline, I like the simplicity of it and the way that I can see making one for each character and overlaying them. How does it compare, for you, with other plot diagrams or outlines?

Harmon calls his circles embryos—they contain all the elements needed for a satisfying story—and he uses them to map out nearly every turn on Community, from throwaway gags to entire seasons. If a plot doesn’t follow these steps, the embryo is invalid, and he starts over.
