You can enhance the emotional journey your readers make when you learn the structure readers expect from you.
You will:
- Learn to recognize the basics of a story good arc.
- Learn to incorporate genre-specific twists to your arc.
- Find your own sense of timing in story-telling.
- Focus on “because of this, that happened” rather than “and then this happened.”
- Learn how to exit the stage
