I wonder if they'll be plans for Save The Cat Writes A Short Story?

@RichardHarrisAuthor 6 ай бұрын

Been wrestling with this myself, and it comes down to really combining beats into a single scene. The current formation I've been dabbling with is about 8 scenes for a short story with the following map: 1. Catalyst & Opening Image 2. Flashback to setup, containing theme stated somewhere near the middle 3. Debate, ending with a Break into 2 4. Fun and Games, with B story landing somewhere inside, ending with Midpoint. 5. Bad guys Close in ending with an All is lost 6. Dark Night of the Soul, ending with a Break into 3 7. 5 point finale 8. Final Image, rounding back to the original opening to show change. Now all I've done is simply recombine them on a scene level. If you normally work with page counts or word counts you'd probably already do this anyway. I do like putting the catalyst first however as it starts in the action and creates, as James Scott Bell calls it, a Shattering moment, quite easily. I tend to work on the scene level rather than by page counts or word counts too much though. Try to write each scene about roughly 500-750 words and it ought to be close enough for pacing.

Brilliant, Jessica! You have gone deeper into the beat sheets of so many great books. I hope yours in there too. I've had Save the Cat writes a YA novel on pre-order since February! Only a few weeks left until I hold it in my hands! Thank you🤩

I'm looking forward to this release. I really enjoy reading craft books and STC is one of my favorites. Very excited for the multi-POV pieces!

I borrowed Save The Cat Writes A YA Novel from the library to see if I wanted to buy it. I got to the second chapter and decided I needed this book and bought it.

PLEASE stop turning out the content-free shorts/ads. We have no way to block them on KZfaq and they're just coming up the feed over and over and over.
