You're a writer who prefers to have a firm idea of the dramatic action plot and character emotional development plot before beginning to write

ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR:

Are you a writer who prefers to pre-plot? Or, do you simply like to jump in and begin writing without much pre-planning? Perhaps you're just starting out and don't know your plotting preference? Whatever kind of writer you are, you're much more likely to finish a fast draft if you have a basic grasp of the dramatic action plot and the character emotional development plot of your stories before you begin writing. You'll also find that if you do more pre-plotting up-front you'll have fewer rewrites later.

Martha Alderson works with writers from all over the world. She shares with you a simple, visual technique to help you pre-plot your story quickly. You'll also receive a template to help you organize your time in the actual writing phase. We guarantee you'll finish a fast draft of your story in a month.

Once you assemble the plot items on her checklist, you'll be ready to begin your one-month writing challenge.

How to pre-plot the dramatic action plot and the character emotional development plot
The benefits of writing a fast draft from beginning to end
