YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONDEMAND WEBINAR IF:

• You have an idea for a novel or memoir
• You're a writer with an unfinished draft of a story
• You're a writer looking for a new way to plot and write a story
• You're a writer who believes they are plot challenged
• You're a writer who prefers to have a firm idea of the dramatic action plot and character emotional development plot before beginning to write

ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR:

Are you a writer who prefers to pre-plot? Or, do you simply like to jump in and begin writing without much pre-planning? Perhaps you're just starting out and don't know your plotting preference? Whatever kind of writer you are, you're much more likely to finish a fast draft if you have a basic grasp of the dramatic action plot and the character emotional development plot of your stories before you begin writing. You'll also find that if you do more pre-plotting up-front you'll have fewer rewrites later.

Martha Alderson works with writers from all over the world. She shares with you a simple, visual technique to help you pre-plot your story quickly. You'll also receive a template to help you organize your time in the actual writing phase. We guarantee you'll finish a fast draft of your story in a month.

Once you assemble the plot items on her checklist, you'll be ready to begin your one-month writing challenge.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• How to structure your story in preparation of writing a fast draft
• How to pre-plot the dramatic action plot and the character emotional development plot
• The benefits of writing a fast draft from beginning to end
• The importance of reaching the end before beginning again
• Why pre-plotting ensures you'll finish your story in the allotted time
• The best use of your time to reach your goal
• A checklist of the plot items you'll need to begin your one-month writing challenge
• How to use the one-month deadline to your advantage
