This book is not about cemeteries. Nor is it a mystery-suspense
story. It is about writing-the craft of writing and telling a tale.
It is about how to use other people's stories, and what we are
allowed to do with them. The plot of any story is the key. The plot
is the story within the story that propels the action and develops
the tale. In Hamlet, for instance, the story deals with who will be
the rightful king of Denmark, but the plot is concerned with
revenge and ambition. The plot is the nucleus of the action, and it
is here that the writer must look to form his efforts. In Part One,
the authors deal in depth with the structuring and "spicing" of the
story. In Part Two, using classic and modern examples they outline
13 common plot movers: Vengeance Catastrophe Love and Hate The
Chase Grief and Loss Rebellion Betrayal Persecution Self-Sacrifice
Survival Rivalry Discovery (Quest) Ambition showing you how weave
it all together in a tapestry of words rich and satisfying to the
reader. Worried you'll go too far in your plot thievery? A thorough
look at plagiarism and copyright is also included.
