Overview
Everyone has an excellent idea for a story, but most view the prospect of writing an entire novel as a daunting task indeed. What are the elements of the plot? Why do the major disasters occur? How can we differentiate between a proactive and reactive scene? Well, the reality is that anyone can write a great book, and in this hour-long presentation, local novelist Matt Abraham, author of Old Debts, will take you step-by-step through the entire process. Starting with Dwight Swain’s famous MRU micro-structure and ending with KM Weiland’s macro-theory of the three-act-arc, Abraham will show you every tool you will need to spin a cohesive tale that will thrill and captivate readers.
