I compiled the blog posts I offered during the 2nd Annual International Plot Writing Month (we are now just completing the 4th Annual) for writers who wish to re"vision" the plot arc of their novel, memoir, screenplay at their own speed or at a different time of the year than just in December. I have heard from writers who tell me they cannot do a rewrite without following the 26 plot steps first.

Not as good as The Plot Whisperer: Secrets of Story Structure Any Writer Can Master of the same author, that I read first, but still useful. You should read it first, then the book mentionned to take the most of it.
