In this completely revised and updated edition, celebrated writing instructor and plot consultant Martha Alderson helps you navigate the intricacies of story with the help of her exclusive Plot Planner and Scene Tracker tools. Using Alderson’s effective, accessible techniques, you'll be able to:
   • PLOT your story from beginning to end with a focus on dramatic action, the emotional development of your characters, and thematic significance.
   • ENSURE that each scene contributes meaningfully to the narrative by tracking the seven essential elements of scene.
   • LINK scenes by cause and effect to create a tight, seamless narrative.
   • INJECT tension and conflict to keep readers glued to the page.
   • TARGET weak areas in your story and learn how to fix them.
