ABOUT THIS ONDEMAND WEBINAR
Too many writers think that the plot of a story is made up of either fast-paced, external action or quiet and introspective moments. Plot is both those things and so much more. Creating a compelling plot incorporating action and emotion and meaning requires talent, skill, know-how, and practice. Learn what makes a great plot and how to apply practical plot techniques as you craft a dramatic heart-felt and meaningful story.
Martha Alderson, also known as the Plot Whisperer, has helped novelists of all genres and memoirists and screenwriters write stories with plots. Writing a story with a plot from beginning to end using universal story-telling methods gives you confidence as you explore your characters, action, and deeper meaning.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- Simple techniques to master plot
- Key elements of plot in the beginning, the middle, and the end of your story
- The importance of weaving action, emotion, mystery, romance, meaning, and more through to the very end of the story
- All about the heart of your plot
- Effective techniques to developing memorable characters
- The most common plot problems and how to avoid them
