Recording: Narrative Drive for No-Plot Novels and Sagging Middles with Donald Maass
What do you do when your plot is stalled or, worse, when there’s no obvious plot in the first place? How do you counter-act the “spinning wheels” effect in middles and give even stuck characters a sense of dynamic drive? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll look at the methods of transforming inaction into drama. Using the secret power of seeking, any story can electrify readers no matter how overtly quiet or slow.
