Write the Scene 3 Easy Ways

by Chris Rogers

A novel of 70,000 to 150,000 words is intentionally complex, with numerous characters, chapters, and subplots. But the writing can be simple if, from the opening paragraph to the final sentence, you create your story as a string of units, dramatic, reflective and transitional. Once you know how to construct each type of unit, you’ll have the building blocks, and by understanding the dramatic/reflective/transition process, you’ll never have to stare at a blank page and wonder “what do I write next?” This book shows exactly how it's done.

About the author

Chris Rogers was born in Texas and raised in the days of EC Comics and “B” horror flicks that could chill you down to your funny bones. She resides in a small community within commute of the four major Texas metropolises, where she ghostwrites business books and memoirs while turning out her own novels and short stories. Chris has taught mystery writing at the Rice University School of Continuing Studies, the University of Houston and in private master classes. Her students have received numerous awards and acknowledgements for their works. After a career in graphic design, Chris became a writer the easy way: She read voraciously and filled blank pages with drivel until her fingers cramped and her brain defected. Eventually, she learned to craft a decipherable sentence. Author of the Dixie Flannigan series, Bitch Factor, Rage Factor, Chill Factor and Slice of Life, Chris has published stories and essays in, among others, Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine and Writer’s Digest.
