Synopsis

Many novelists fear writing hundreds of pages only to find their story lacks urgency or internal logic, leading to a complete rewrite. Lisa Cron, a story coach, offers a powerful alternative to traditional 'pantsing' or 'plotting' methods. This guide reveals how to use cognitive storytelling strategies, based on brain science, to build a scene-by-scene blueprint. It takes you from an initial idea to a complete, multilayered plan, resulting in a first draft with the depth of a much later version.
