Cut Out the Middle, Man!

Does your synopsis include the phrase: Then other stuff happens?

We all know that every good book needs an attention-grabbing opening, and of course there will be the triumphant happily-ever-after at the end, but what about all that stuff in the middle? Sometimes the stuffing goes flat and the middle starts to sag. How on earth can we avoid that?

Well, say good-bye to that muddling middle! In this interactive workshop, we’ll sort out the muddle and tighten the sag as we look at:

• Plot points
• Goals
• Conflicts, and
• How to keep those pages turning.
