Unlock the Hidden Secrets of Plot and Subplot: Master the Art of Suspense That Keeps Readers on the Edge of Their Seats
I explored several models of story structure, including the Algis Budrys seven-point story structure of simply putting a character in a setting with a problem and then employing try/fail cycles until the climax where he succeeds or ultimately fails before ending with a validation.
I also found a lot to like about Syd Field’s model for storytelling. Finally, I tried the Lester Dent Master Plot Formula for dramatic writing and found it works quite well for writing an exciting short story. But again, these models weren’t a perfect fit for me. My search continued.
