How to Build Plots That Grab Your Readers and Won't Let Go - By Building and Integrating Characters, Story Arcs, and Engaging Themes Ever wonder what makes a great book or movie different from a pitiful excuse for entertainment? Mostly, it starts with a plot. But what makes a plot work? From months of my own studying the vast numbers of approaches to plotting, it's clear that there is still a wide gulf between the mechanics of a plot and having a working framework usable for any writer. This led to the study of two authors who had already done their own studies of which plots made successful entertainment, and actually built their own still-popular plot generators based on this knowledge. Many well-known and obscure writers have used these methods instead of being dogged by ""writer's block."" The anwers to what makes a great plot are simple and few. The bonus in this book is giving you your own plot generator to help you when you're stuck. Get Your Copy Today.
