Want A Better Novel? Try These Approaches. by Darlene Beck Jacobson

One of the themes this month is structure. I decided to take the opportunity to explore some sites for writers that offer advice on structure and plotting.  Here are two that stood out for their unique and helpful content.

BETTER NOVEL PROJECT: This blog written by Christine Frazier uses the mantra "Deconstructing best-selling novels, one doodle at a time".  Frazier use index "cards" and illustrations to break down common elements of popular novels such as the Hunger Games, and Harry Potter.  Her detailed outlines provide a comprehensive MASTER OUTLINE to guide us in structuring our own WIP.
