Plot Basics: Plot Your Novel or Screenplay in Eight Sequences

Instead of focusing on the different acts (which are pretty big swatches of the story), Paul breaks them down by sequence (1-2 = act 1; 3-6 = act 2; 7-8 = act 3). He defines the purpose of each sequence, provides tons of examples and illustrations, and completely set me up to write my first novel. So, so good.

covered the topic in depth just wished it was more added but still a great book better than many currently out now.

This is the perfect reference for giving better understanding of the nature and construction of plots and pacing for creating the right pace to any particular story and learning to look at one's chosen narrative with an eye to perfect functionality...

This book shows you what publishers expect especially in genres. You can argue that it takes the fun out of writing, but publishers aren’t interested in your entertainment. They worry about selling books. Read this book. It will help.
