The Plot Thickens: 21 Ways to Plot Your Novel
The Plot Thickens offers you, the writer, myriad methods of plotting. Whether you are a published veteran or a writing novice, we present alternate methods of finding the best path to express and deliver the stuff pinging around in your head, driving you crazy and alienating friends and family. Okay, maybe your case isn’t so severe, but the great idea that made you sit up one day and say, “I’m going to write a book!” can’t make itself a reality without a little guided, focused help.
If you have no idea of how to take the first step, if you can’t decide if writing is a dream come true or a nightmare (hint: sometimes it’s both), this book can help you decide which method works for you.

About the author
Cheryl Sterling
23 books71 followersCheryl Sterling is an American author of several paranormal and contemporary romance novels and short stories. Her first novel, What Do You Say to a Naked Elf?, was a finalist in the TARA contest and was later sold to Leisure Books, an imprint of Dorchester Publishing.
Cheryl is a co-founder and past president of Grand Rapids Region Writers Group in Grand Rapids, MI. She has conducted several workshops that focused on the writing craft and co-chaired their first “I’ve Always Wanted to Write a Book” regional conference.
In her spare time (she’s retired, so there’s that, but she writes a lot, so, never mind), she reads. All genres (except suspense and horror because she reserves the right to mess with readers’ minds). She loves history (lots of ideas to steal borrow), sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, regencies (who knew so many eligible Dukes were around?), anything Doctor Who, and/or quantum entanglement.
Her passion is learning and improving her craft, but mostly, she is a teacher.
Cheryl currently lives in Phoenix with her husband and their cat, Coco Xena.

If you need help plotting your book, this is the ultimate guide. The authors outline (pun intended) more than two dozen ways to figure out how to get your book from idea to finished product. If outlining doesn't work, and it's terrifying for some writers, alternate methods are presented in user-friendly language.
If you've ever said, "I'm going to write a book", use this book as your starting point.
