Hi, I'm kind of new to planning out my writing, My story needs conflict and I'm not quite sure how to go about structuring a plan, If you have any tips or ideas I would much appreciate it. Thank You xx

Hello there!

I’m normally not much of a plotter, but I’m giving it a try on my current project. I’m using Tara Ison's Story Maps method and it seems to be working out so far!

You can also try out 1000storyidea’s zigzag method, in which your characters keep moving closer and father from success.

I use Scrivener for my writing, so I’m able to organize chapters based on the different steps in the Story Maps structure. This helps remind me where in my arc I’m supposed to be.

Here is a super pro-tip! Break down the plot of a novel you’ve recently read. As a class assignment, I had to break down the plot of a novel using the Story Maps format.

It took a fair amount of time and ended up as 2 pages of describing the novel’s plot, but it really, really helped me understand plot on a deeper level!

I made a Word doc version of my breakdown so you can see what I mean. I analyzed Shiver byMaggie Stiefvater, and there ARE spoilers! (Click here to download) 

At the end of the day, the main takeaway is that you need to make things difficult for your character. Keep throwing things in their way that push them farther away from their goal. Sometimes it’s a case of “one step forward, two steps back”... and that struggle is what builds conflict.

As another general rule of thumb, it’s good to start stacking up problems to build up the tension. Meaning, don’t introduce a problem in chapter 1, only to solve it in chapter 2. Instead, let that problem simmer for multiple chapters, all the while you keep introducing new problems that build up and really put on the pressure.

Here’s a nice and simple infographic to help you get started

And here’s a link to CC’s “plotting” tag which has many more resources to help you out :)

Last night’s Phoenix Writers Network was great. I’m obsessed with the 3 Act structure for writing so this was a perfect refresher.

Your most anticipated books of 2017.

Back in December, I asked you all what books you were really, really looking forward to getting your hands on in 2017 - and below the cut are your replies!

There are so, so many exciting books coming out this year, and I just cannot wait to read them all. Your answers reminded me of some I had forgotten about, as well as gotten me excited for a couple more! 

A couple of you mentioned Caraval - I’ll actually be working an event with Stephanie Garber next month, so stay tuned to hear about that. And those of you looking forward to Strange the Dreamer, I can assure you that it is absolutely fantastic! I *might* have a surprise for someone looking to win an advance copy soon, so again... stay tuned!

Issue 25 Virtual Launch Party!

[unabridgedbookstore]

“What of our life is mere chance, and what are we determining through the choices we make, our acts of autonomous free will? Are we the wing-fluttering butterfly in the Amazon jungle, or the tornado whose trajectory has, weeks later and hundreds of miles away, been altered by significant degree? Where are we, exactly, in the chain of cause and effect? Are we the designer or the designed?” – Tara Ison, @lareviewofbooks • These are just a few of the questions posed by Joan Silber’s IMPROVEMENT. Our book club will discuss this immaculate novel on Monday, November 5th at 7PM.
