The Only Plotting Workbook You'll Ever Need: Your Story Arc Journal (Series Bibles for Writers)

Description

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: Useful - Great for plotting, ideas, thoughts, jotting down those wondering characters from your head. Very useful. Review: Disappointed - It was a good start fundamentally, but it lacked substance and how to get there and all these books could have been in one edition without any problems. Seems a waste.
