How to Plot and Structure Your Novel OnDemand WebinarThe plot of your book is the underlying structure of its story,the specific order and selection of events that reveal information about the characters and their circumstances to create emotional effects and thematic resonance for the reader. But how do you know you're choosing the right events for your story, whether they're in the right order, or if they achieve the ends you have in mind?

The plot of your book is the underlying structure of its story,the specific order and selection of events that reveal information about the characters and their circumstances to create emotional effects and thematic resonance for the reader. But how do you know you're choosing the right events for your story, whether they're in the right order, or if they achieve the ends you have in mind?

In this talk, editor Cheryl Klein will guide you through the principles that underlie traditional narrative plotting,a framework on which you can build all sorts of variations. You'll learn about the three main types of plot and how to braid them for maximum narrative efficiency and elegance. We'll examine who's driving the events of your novel, how plotting relates to character, where's the right place for the book to begin and end, and whether the stakes and characters are sufficient to keep narrative tension high the entire book. Finally, we'll discuss how to create an effective bookmap to see your plot on its own terms and be sure that every scene and event contributes to the whole.

Instructor Cheryl Klein has edited multiple award-winning novels, and she'll cite real-life examples and share notes from her editorial experiences to help attendees develop and expand their understanding of plot.

Please note: As Cheryl is a children's and YA book editor by day, many of the examples she uses throughout the webinar will be novels and books for children and young adults. However, the tools and tips she will share on plot/structure can be applied to any adult category of fiction (and even memoir).

What you'll learn:

  • The three types of plot and four elements of plot structure
  • What kind of plot you have and why that matters
  • Ways to establish and raise the stakes of your story
  • How to make every subplot contribute to the whole effect of the book
  • Tips for balancing character development and forward plot momentum
  • Practical techniques for tracking the progress of a plot in your book

Fun, Durable Toy That Keeps Dogs Entertained
Color: light blue
This interactive dog toy has been great for keeping my dog fairly active and engaged. The auto-bounce and rotating features grab attention instantly, and the chew-resistant material holds up well. You can also turn the multicolored lights on to play in the dark or just have a fun time while your pet chases the ball. It is so easy to use, rechargeable, and perfect for burning energy indoors or outside. 🐶 Although both my dogs were sorta interested…due to colder temperatures (they are elder dogs) they probably would have had more fun, if the weather was warmer. I also tried to entertain the neighbors poodle too!

Fun ball for dog
Color: light blue
This is a great toy for the dog. So far the ball is still complete by chewing several days. I have to say it is perfect size for the big dog. The ball is light and also has a changeable light and models.

Well made dog toy
Color: Blue
The snoops are great for our active labrador. He is a very aggressive chewer, and so far, has not destroyed a snoop yet. He has mulitples. They are a great size for filling with treats or kibble and they keep him engaged in the activity. He even likes to carry them when he does his zoomies sometimes. They are lightweight and sturdy, and the material is nice and flexible. Great toy / puzzle ball to have around for your pup!

Great for mental stimulation. Durable for my chewers!
Color: Purple Lil Snoop, Color: Purple Lil Snoop
Love these! Quality material, safe for dogs — I make my dogs home made freezer treats and fill these up with it, and serve. Keeps them busy for hours. It’s also fun for them to roll it around to get regular treats out of. Toy + treats = a very happy pup. This size I got for my puppy. The larger ones I use for my adult dogs. Super cute too, and silent! I have Mini Aussies, so it’s great mental stimulation for them. Tires them out.
