Three Different Ways to Outline and Structure Your Story
By Kylie Day
()
About this ebook
Have you ever wondered how to structure your story in a simple way?
Have you ever read your first draft and thought something was off with the progression of the story?
Every story is based on a structure that works as the frame and the roadmap. The structure is the story’s foundation, and one of the most important aspects of good storytelling. Therefore, it’s important to get the structuring right.
In this book, you will learn three story structures (the Three-Act Structure, the Seven Point Story Structure, and the Hero’s Journey). You can use whichever structure you want to outline, structure, and evaluate your story, whether you’re at the very beginning or have finished your first draft.
Includes a free download: Story Structure Templates: Three Different Structures, so that you can work with the structure of your choice.
Kylie Day
Kylie Day is a lover of books and stories, an avid reader, and a passionate writer. Last time she counted the books in her bookshelves, she had over five hundred of them (the digital library was too extensive to count). While physical books feel magical in her hands — and smell even more magical — she prefers to buy ebooks because she doesn’t have any room for more bookshelves. If she had the money she would buy a library, just to fill it with amazing books.Her love for books is why she, as of the spring of 2015, has a BA in literature. She could never see her life progressing in any other way since that first time she picked up a book and read it with fervor as well as stuck her nose in it just to smell the magic on the pages.Now Kylie is chasing her childhood dream of becoming an author. The Busy Author’s Guide-series is a series of short ebooks that is meant to help others with the same dream.
