Overview

A step-by-step method for building a successful storyline.

A compact writing course, this complete workbook takes you from basic story idea to a solid storyline. Designed for the busy lifestyle, it's simple enough to read in one sitting, yet powerful enough to demonstrate the mysteries of story structure.

Contrary to myth, a good skeleton does not inhibit a writer's imagination; instead, an accepted structure provides the exciting changes that lead to story satisfaction.

Which is what your reader expects.

Today's readers are more sophisticated than ever before, and they instinctively know and expect certain things to happen in your story. If these incidents do not occur, the reader is often left dissatisfied and disappointed. Draggy, they may think. Dull. They may have purchased your first novel, but may hesitate to buy your next.

Don't let that happen!

After many requests, I've condensed years of teaching fiction into simple one-page chart templates. Not only do I explain structure, I give examples of critical scenes and turning points and show you exactly where they should be placed for the best dramatic effect. I even list the scenes I used in my novels, Ten Times Guilty and Beyond the Quiet, on my plotting charts as an illustration.

    After reading this book you'll want to write a book of your own!

    I have read a portion of Brenda Hill's amazing book and it got me excited all over again about writing! I can't wait for my own copy to arrive in the mail. Thinking about characters and plot lines. Not judging it, but throwing it all out there and letting your imagination run wild. There's always time to reign all those thoughts in later and give them structure, but Brenda captured the sheer joy of putting thoughts/ideas/dreams on paper. If I didn't already love writing, I'd want to try it because she make it seem like a wonderful adventure rather than a dull chore.

    Charts are Lifesavers!

    I've tried to put together a coherent plot with index cards as I'd been taught, only to have my living room floor covered with them and I still had trouble knowing where they should go. Thanks to Ms Hill's book and her charts, I can now sit at my computer or the kitchen table and plot my entire book. My wife is happy to have the living room back! I'd recommend this to any writer and especially to aspiring writers.
