So Im preparing for NaNoWriMo and decided to brush up a bit on how to get through the middle (where I encountered the most trouble last time around). I found a Writers Digest tutorial that looked to perfectly address this problem area. I started listening to the ten minute sample and who do I hear? Lo and behold, this tutorial is from my friend K.M. Weiland! Im definitely a seat-of-the-pants author but listening to Katie talk about structure helps me to organize the rough beats of a story together in my head before I sit down and start to write. tutorials.writersdigest/p-508-structuring-your-novel-discover-the-proven-blueprint-for-creating-stories-that-sell.aspx In this fast-moving, chock-full tutorial: * How to implement a strong three-act structure, using ten important plot elements * How to time your acts and your plot points * How to determine the best methods for unleashing your unique and personal vision for your story * How to identify common structural weaknesses and flip them around into stunning strengths * How to eliminate saggy middles by discovering your “centerpiece”
