Unlock the Hidden Secrets of Plot and Subplot: Master the Art of Suspense That Keeps Readers on the Edge of Their Seats
Searching for Structure
From the beginning of my writer’s journey, I knew story structure had to be a vital part of creating successful stories. But I wasn’t sure how to best construct a story, or which of the many models would produce the best results for me.
I started writing short stories using a nine-point, three-act structure consisting of hook, backstory, and trigger in act one. Crisis, struggle, and epiphany in act two. And plan, climax, and resolution in the final act.
This worked fine. At first. But as I expanded into longer writing forms like novellas and novels, I realized I needed something more. And something better-suited to the types of suspense fiction I like to write.
