Description:
In this course, we will: Learn about story structure, plot points, pinch points, and rising action. We’ll discuss in detail what should happen in each chapter of your book, and why it’s important to follow a certain order (and why things could fall apart if you don’t). We’ll figure out not only how to map out a story before you write, but also how to fix a story you’ve already written that isn’t working. And we’ll utilize real world examples from popular books and movies to do this (Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Legally Blonde, and Die Hard).
