Jenny Crusie’s basics of fiction

November 27, 2010 Stephanie Leary Leave a Comment

Here’s a link to save for December, when you’d rather watch It’s a Wonderful Life a thousand times than revise your book. Jenny Crusie’s Basics of Fiction class handout is a neat little primer on structuring and revising a story. It’s all here: goal/motivation/conflict, character arcs, acts and turning points, theme….

(Yes, two Crusie links in a row. She’s a goddess, all right?)
