This fourth (and highly requested!) installment of Series Bibles for Writers contains everything you need to map out the plot to your novel or screenplay. Plan your story through the lens of 10 different plotting methods and see it in real time in the worksheets, timelines, calendars, and scene maps provided. Think of this as your plot journal, to brainstorm and store all of your plotting information, and to refer back to as you're writing to keep every plot thread, goal, conflict, timeline, scene, and climax accounted for. Contents include: Worksheets for 10 different well-loved plotting methods. Blank timeline charts for keeping track of character timelines & plot threads. Calendar sheets to plot your story in real timeline (5 yearly, 15 monthly, and 20 weekly sheets) 55 scene worksheets, to flesh out killer scenes and make sure they serve a purpose to your arc. And a custom contents page to easily find your info when you need it. (All sections and methods are padded with a scratch note buffer page, so if you decide to rip out any pages that are unnecessary to your story, you won't be ripping out vital information on the back side as well.) This workbook is prompted enough to guide your plot into a satisfying arc, yet free-form enough to handle whatever direction your story needs to go. Use this before you write to build direction. Use this during your writing to keep on track, and to craft scenes ahead of time to cut out dreaded writer's block. And when you're finished , use this workbook during the editing process to audit your plot & scenes, so the final product is a story you can be incredibly proud of.

Review: Perfect for what I need - I'm wanting to try my hand at fiction writing again (haven't done it since high school).

Going to be using it for NaNoWriMo 2023, and pretty much ALL projects going forward. Review: Excellent For Writing A Book - This is a good workbook that will help you focus on writing your book.

Perfect for what I need
I'm wanting to try my hand at fiction writing again (haven't done it since high school). I found another book in the series this one's in, and I was so impressed by it, I decided to pick this one up, as well. Going to be using it for NaNoWriMo 2023, and pretty much ALL projects going forward.

Great template workbook.
I found the workbook to be very complete in terms of options for templates in the realm of writing a novel. If you were going to nanowrimo this November order this now!!!! Not all of us are ‘word only’ writers, many of us are visual. This workbook gives plenty of template examples of the different outlining systems as well as novel and character development worksheets. It helps you keepi track of plot, character development, mind map options as well as storyboard layouts. I intend on using this workbook for my next novel project. They’re genetic enough to custom your own layout. Glad I bought this book. Taking it to my writing group…

I Love It
I love for it's laid out. It has a way of getting a lazy writer's brain thinking. 😂 Good points to consider and follow through on.

Great info in the workbook, could use a copyedit
It has good information and can be helpful to understand different plotting methods. I find this very useful. Be warned this is a workbook, so 1/3 is useful information , 1/3 of the book is blank calendar, and the final 1/3 is duplicates for scene organization. It’s meant for you to use on a project, so it’s not descriptive. However, the source is given so you can easily find the original text for it. Rating is given for the editing issues. There are words that should have easily been caught in editing.

The best investment you can make as an author
I ordered this reluctantly. I felt like I already had an idea of the plot for my 2nd novel and that it wouldn't be helpful, but since I liked the other books in the series, I figured I'd just check it out. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and I flipped through it. I started using it and realized so much more about my plot that I hadn't thought of. I immediately ordered 3 more copies to start plotting out my 3rd novel and the following series. Even if you think you don't need plotting assistance, order this book - you won't regret it!

Just blank forms!
As with the other book in the series character workbook, which I unfortunatly bought as well is basicly blank forms to fill out. There is hardly any information about making plots for books the filled with templates. That there would be some Templates, yes, But the whole book and hardly any information. So disappointed.

Mostly good/useful content.
The overall content is good. It helped me put thoughts together in a more coherent order to get me out of a writing block. However, there are more worksheets (and useless calendar pages) than actual guide/info pages. It's far from being "The Only Plotting Workbook You'll Ever Need". And the amount of spelling errors is astounding...

Disappointing book! Not what I expected.
Not the kind of tool I expected to help me with my writing. It's a waste of my money. I will give this useless book away. Who buys this book?

Sehr wenig Inhalt
Vor allem leere Seiten, als Notizblätter. Das kann ich aber auch selbst zur Hand nehmen, dafür brauche ich kein Geld für ein Buch ausgeben. Enttäuschend.
