Episode 105 - A technique for plotting scene to scene, and my failed writing experiment.

from Essential Guide to Writing a Novel · host James Thayer

What is the best way to plot our novel, plotting from scene to scene?  Here is a discussion of the critical technique of avoiding a scene's set up and wind down.  Also, I took part in a writing experiment and spectacularly failed, and here is an account of it.  I still wince when I recall it.  Also, a strong writing technique is avoiding "was" and "were."  We'll discuss why and how to do so.Support the showBuy the master class.
