How to Create a Book that Will Keep Readers Reading - Plot Worksheet

A book you'll itch to write? A protagonist you'll love? An antagonist who will give you shivers? And (simultaneously) the first draft of a synopsis you can send to literary agents? Like many writers struggling with the question of how to create a good book, I've spun my mental wheels researching and experimenting with different methods of plotting: outlining versus free writing versus turning points versus notecards versus snowflake method etc.

It works equally well in developing a first draft and in checking that the draft you've written has enough story behind it to hold together. Try the Complications Worksheet as a thinking tool.

Cheap Writing Tricks

In the real world, stuff is always happening, but it’s not a plot. People live. People die. People are made glorious or miserable. Things eagerly awaited are realized, or hopes are cruelly dashed. In fiction-land, stories have beginnings, middles and ends. That line is wholly arbitrary, of course – your personal life-story’s climax is merely a passing moment in someone else’s arc – but the really weird thing is that a story that lacks this arbitrariness feels arbitrary. So plots are funny. None of this is hard and fast, of course. Characters are even weirder. As I wrote in my column last January, ‘‘Where Characters Come From,’’ our brains experience other people through our simulations of them.

Romance/Love: Starter tips for your story [March 26, 2014]

About this Newsletter2. A Word from our Sponsor3. Coming up with new story ideas is important to any fiction writer. The first cardinal rule of opening lines is that they should possess most of the individual craft elements that make up the story as a whole. Resist the urge to start too early. Many romance plot conflicts stem from the careers of the hero and heroine. If you feel compelled to begin a story with dialogue, keep in mind that you’re thrusting your readers directly into a storm in which it’s easy to lose them. Sometimes a story evolves so significantly during the writing process that an opening line, no matter how brilliant, no longer applies to the story that follows.
