{"product_id":"2940150598188","title":"BUILD A STORY AROUND ONE GREAT SCENE","description":"Welcome to the world of working your way out of a cozy (or dangerous or adventuresome!) spot that will fall in the middle of your manuscript and sorting out how your characters are supposed to get there and where they should be headed after that scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeird, yes.  I thought it was the first time I used it but have ended up doing this a couple times since. And you know what that means?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHERE IS NO ONE WAY TO WRITE A STORY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo simplify things, there are at least three different ways to do a story – starting from the beginning, starting from the end (popular with mystery writers who have a crime to solve) or, as we'll be considering doing here, doing it from somewhere in the middle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd there's always a lot of the middle in a book, isn't there?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt doesn't matter whether you are a plotter or a pantser as we're looking for possibilities and ways to unearth them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way we'll look at what is in the scene that can tell us what needs to come before it, the scenes that bookend it on either side, and the rest of the story after it that leads to that satisfying finish!","brand":"3 Media Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080254308592,"sku":"2940150598188","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150598188_p0.jpg?v=1763749465","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150598188","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
