A Writer's Guide Story Structure & Beyond: The Humorous Edition

by Mary Frame

Are you a fiction writer? Do you ever find yourself slogging through your novel wondering, what am I doing? Why am I doing this? What day is it, anyway? And where the heck is the wine?! Well, never fear, dear writer. I am here for you. Within these pages you will discover the highlights of story structure from rough beginnings, through the middle slog, to the blessed end.

This book also includes information on writing effective dialogue, crafting scenes that do double duty, creating dimensional characters, pros and cons of indie vs. traditional publishing, and much more, delivered in a humorous and (hopefully) entertaining way.

Mary Frame is the author of more than a dozen titles including the Dorky Duet and the Imperfect Series, which Publisher's Weekly called, "...a thoughtful and highly entertaining read." She is a full time mother and wife with a full time job. She has no idea how she manages to write novels, except that it helps being a dedicated introvert. She doesn't enjoy writing about herself in third person, but she does enjoy reading, writing, dancing, and damaging the ear drums of her co-workers when she randomly decides to sing to them. She lives in Reno, Nevada with her husband, two children and a border collie named Stella.

Reviews

[Cranky - The Book Curmudgeon · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great read for writers who are just starting out or want to further develop their craft.



Easy and accessible, it doesn’t overwhelm or bombard you with information. Rather, it gives helpful tips on how to on everything from structure, plot, development of characters, and overcoming writer’s block.



Delivered in a humorous way, there is plenty to relate to as the author gives you insight into what she’s encountered on her writing journey and how she’s overcome it. The work gives clear examples and techniques to implement from the start to the finish.



We review a lot of books and they all fall somewhere on the spectrum. We’ve seen a lot of really good books – books that could have been great with a little more development.



If you’re an author or someone interested in writing, do yourself a favour. Pick this up. You won’t regret it.

If you are confused about all of the story structure books and software, you can end it quickly by purchasing this book. It is short, sweet, and extremely practical.
