PS the video player is interactive! Polls will pop up just as they did in the live version, and when I talk about a handout, it will appear in the tab next to the volume control (click on the icon that looks like a rectangular book when it gets a red dot).

This is a class all about plotting a novel. In particular, we're going to look at some ways to build plot naturally, organically, rather than imposing a structure on the story from outside.

Additionally, we're going to talk about some great concepts
- an easy way to start your novel
- why plot is not about "events"
- a test for staying on track, chapter by chapter
- how to build the story out of your main character
- examples from Lee Child and Edith Wharton
- why "the hero's journey" may not be your friend
- what readers want from chapter one

Plus there will be handouts, writing prompts, and some free giveaways during the session!

"Daniel David Wallace gives smart, clear-headed editorial advice and his services are well worth every penny. Even working with a literary agency, going through rewrites, I had not received this level of attentiveness, this kind of sensitivity to the project at hand. Daniel responded quickly and was generous with feedback.

His suggestions have helped enormously--and he is particularly astute about issues of plotting, and whether the structure is serving the characters and their story. I hope Daniel Wallace is still accepting clients when I finish my next novel, because his service is invaluable."
