Are you a writer who struggles to finish your book?
Michael Hauge, author of Writing Screenplays That Sell, Selling Your Story in 60 Seconds, The Hero's Two Journeys (with Christopher Vogler), and Storytelling Made Easy (for business leaders, speakers, and entrepreneurs) says, "With CPE: Character, Plot, and Emotion, Diana Stout brilliantly reveals and edifies the uniquely powerful principles of plot and character created by eight writers and consultants who are regarded as masters of storytelling for film and fiction. But the real treasure of this wonderful book is how she simplifies and combines their methods with her own expertise as a hugely accomplished novelist, teacher, and consultant. The result (along with its accompanying workbook) is an essential guide to transforming the emotional impact and commercial success of your own storytelling."
Do you struggle with the sagging middle?
Do you get so stuck that you're not sure where to go in the story?
Have you ever been told your characters are flat, one-dimensional, or unlikable?
Have you ever become bored with your story while writing it?
Have you ever started writing an idea, then shelved it because you didn't know how to finish it?
Are you still trying to determine what your writing process is?
Would you like someone who used to suffer through those same struggles to show you the secrets she discovered on her journey?
Other writers have said:
"I'm using Diana's Post-it notes plotting sheets to rewrite and revise pantser drafts. Her system defines plot points and calls attention to crucial details for a complete, compelling manuscript. The worksheets are easy-to-use, a real time-saver. They have helped me add depth, find holes, and redefine my stories." - Linda Bradley, author
"I was a skeptical...because I've been struggling with sagging middles....I was surprised at how the ideas came so easily....I could see plot holes right away. I was shocked to see three of the five major plot points were missing. When pantsering, I would write the book and then have to go back and add content to fix these holes....No more sagging middle!" - Diana Lloyd, author
I can now see the value in plotting a story out, even if not plotting all the minute details." - Linda Fletcher, writer
"I've tried different methods of plotting and various beat sheet methods. Nothing worked well for me. I always felt that something was lacking. When I tried Diana's CPE worksheets, I realized I faced a new way of thinking about my story. I realized these CPE worksheets gave my story a rudder-a way to drive my plot forward and not wander through the weeds." - L M English, writer
