The Only Plotting Workbook You'll Ever Need: Your Story Arc Journal (Series Bibles for Writers)

I love for it's laid out. It has a way of getting a lazy writer's brain thinking. 😂 Good points to consider and follow through on.

Keeps your story logical, coordinated, and believable!

I found the workbook to be very complete in terms of options for templates in the realm of writing a novel. If you were going to nanowrimo this November order this now!!!! Not all of us are ‘word only’ writers, many of us are visual. This workbook gives plenty of template examples of the different outlining systems as well as novel and character development worksheets. It helps you keepi track of plot, character development, mind map options as well as storyboard layouts. I intend on using this workbook for my next novel project. They’re genetic enough to custom your own layout. Glad I bought this book. Taking it to my writing group…

I'm wanting to try my hand at fiction writing again (haven't done it since high school). I found another book in the series this one's in, and I was so impressed by it, I decided to pick this one up, as well. Going to be using it for NaNoWriMo 2023, and pretty much ALL projects going forward.

I loved this writing tool! Made for a great companion while writing my first novel!

All my previous creative writing courses taught the 9-point plot outline for fiction writing. This workbook is outlined for the 7-point format. This complicates things for me. UN-true to its title, there is very little education or "help" to plotting. Just a full page, slanted line and some zig-zag line pages. I assume for plotting? There are 45-pages of various calendars (?). I have a calendar on my wall. I'm good. I did like the character pages, but the more one builds a character, the faster the form becomes confining and inadequate. People are complicated .. even fake ones. I won't put a mark in this book, but may use a few ideas. A worthy effort for folks that learned the 7-point plotting method, but didn't help me much.

I ordered this reluctantly. I felt like I already had an idea of the plot for my 2nd novel and that it wouldn't be helpful, but since I liked the other books in the series, I figured I'd just check it out. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and I flipped through it. I started using it and realized so much more about my plot that I hadn't thought of. I immediately ordered 3 more copies to start plotting out my 3rd novel and the following series. Even if you think you don't need plotting assistance, order this book - you won't regret it!

Thank you.
