Just incase you don’t follow all the links on this blog, I want to share with the readers several articles that I came upon this morning, topics that I thought would be of interest to the beginning writer, and the not so beginning.
To begin with is Rachelle Gardner--Literary Agent and her article on,
"Why it's hard to Tell the Whole Truth."
You often wonder, why you don’t receive a comment back on your work and she explains in her article why she doesn’t always resond, Rachelle says, “The first and most important reason is because I could be wrong.” I couldn’t imagine an agent ever being wrong, but read her article, she’s straight forward and honest. She gives some wonderful advice and several interesting links.

Another good topic I came upon titled, “The Three-Act Structure
by Kathleen Bolton” of Writer Unboxed she gives a in-depth explanation of plot, in a three act structure form. She list several links to outlines by Peder Hill on Structure and Plot, as well as Holly Lisle tips.

I visited all three sites. I even downloaded a free plot structure guide from Lisle to see what her ideas are. "Learn the Elements of a Novel" is a fantastic resource. I was surfing over there a couple days ago.
ReplyDeleteRight now, I've printed out the "Three Act Structure" and put it in a folder with some other notes about that element.
Good going, Joan. Your blog is always worth visiting.
