DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow to Build Plots That Grab Your Readers and Won't Let Go - By Building and Integrating Characters, Story Arcs, and Engaging Themes Ever wonder what makes a great book or movie different from a pitiful excuse for entertainment? Mostly, it starts with a plot. But what makes a plot work? From months of my own studying the vast numbers of approaches to plotting, it's clear that there is still a wide gulf between the mechanics of a plot and having a working framework usable for any writer. This led to the study of two authors who had already done their own studies of which plots made successful entertainment, and actually built their own still-popular plot generators based on this knowledge. Many well-known and obscure writers have used these methods instead of being dogged by ""writer's block."" The anwers to what makes a great plot are simple and few. The bonus in this book is giving you your own plot generator to help you when you're stuck. Get Your Copy Today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEscape Writer's Block and Generate Original Content Structure in Minutes Using the 31 Basic Dramatic Situations Common To All Fiction Stories Content Structure for Dramatic Fiction has never been so simple and fast. What if all story ideas were able to be boiled down to a single formula? Wycliffe A. Hill had this idea in the 1930's when no less than Cecil B. DeMille rejected one of his stories because ""it had a good narrative, but no drama."" This led Hill to research that lead creating a ""genie"" to bring new possibilities to authors. To inspire combinations they have never though of before. Reviews tell of writers breaking through their Writer's Block to find new inspiration for plots they had never imagined before. Hill notes that unfortunately, most stories tend to fall into paths other stories already travelled. This ""Genie"" enables fresh, new combinations of characters, obstacles, and climaxes never before seen on print or in movies. Get Your Copy Now.

However, techniques such as nonlinear timelines, multiple points of view, and unreliable narration have long been part of American popular culture. How did forms and styles once regarded as “difficult” become familiar to audiences? In Perplexing Plots, David Bordwell reveals how crime fiction, plays, and films made unconventional narrative mainstream. He shows that since the nineteenth century, detective stories and suspense thrillers have allowed ambitious storytellers to experiment with narrative. Tales of crime and mystery became a training ground where audiences learned to appreciate artifice. These genres demand a sophisticated awareness of storytelling conventions: they play games with narrative form and toy with audience expectations. Bordwell examines how writers and directors have pushed, pulled, and collaborated with their audiences to change popular storytelling. He explores the plot engineering of figures such as Raymond Chandler, Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett, Patricia Highsmith, Alfred Hitchcock, Dorothy Sayers, and Quentin Tarantino, and traces how mainstream storytellers and modernist experimenters influenced one another’s work. A sweeping, kaleidoscopic account written in a lively, conversational style, Perplexing Plots offers an ambitious new understanding of how movies, literature, theater, and popular culture have evolved over the past century.
