Product Description
Writing a book doesn’t have to be so hard.
A plotting guide for fiction authors who hate outlining.
If you’ve read dozens of books on writing but still struggle with finishing or polishing your story, get stuck in the soggy middle, lose motivation to fix your book after the first draft is done, or can’t get readers to stick with your story, this book is for you.
After early criticism made me give up writing for nearly a decade, I spent years studying the craft of fiction and boiled everything into a simple, eight-step framework authors can use to improve their writing. Then I added a unique visual framework for creating powerful scenes that readers will love.
This book will help you:
✓ Organize your story so you can finish a great book, faster
✓ Unlock hidden potential in your scenes that you didn’t know was there
✓ Hook readers faster so they don’t quit too early
Whether you’re a panster or a plotter, the guided exercises in this book will help you gain greater visual clarity, plot and outline your novel, edit and revise your first draft, and renew your enthusiasm for writing fiction.
The Plot Dot makes an excellent workbook for writing retreats, is simple enough for children to use (it’s never too early to write your first novel), and introduces a new and useful way to organize your book, improve your writing, and create unforgettable scenes that will make a deep and lasting impact.
Review
"Dude. Finally implementing your structure into the beats of my story. I know you consolidated your beats down from other authors, but I really think you're on to something here. Particularly in Act 2, you can literally immediately visualize hundreds of movies you know (that worked) based on when certain beats happen." Jake Anderson
