You're writing a novel, and you've locked down your genre, format, and beats ... but something's not clicking within your scenes - the basic structure and order of your sentences. The Scene-Sequel Solution format has been used by big names and working pros for at least a century, and is even presented under re-branded names, yet it still seems to be a secret. Here, then, is your initiation. If you can re-write your key story passage into scene-and-sequel form, then you understand your characters and story. If not, and if you wish to improve your story, you need to rethink your story at the macro level. This short book shares the basics for understanding and using scene-and-sequel writing by providing some examples and analysis. The authors have found that most writers - even some who teach Scene-Sequel writing - know little of its history and its variants. We share some of that, too. Stay tuned for Book 2 of this series for more word fun, and watch co-author Robert Beattie's instructional videos on YouTube.
