Course Description:

Don't have time for extraneous plotting details and need character and/or
scene help quick? This "Boot Camp" style workshop will give you all the
basics and how to structure your story quickly from beginning to end. This
bare bones, no-frills plotting nitty-gritty approach to getting the story
outline done takes a different look at how to accomplish the exact same
objectives as other plotting courses without the extra details. Hook your
reader from the first sentence, get the action in there, and keep them
reading. No more sagging or meandering middles. Your characters will have
depth and dimension, and you'll even be able to put a complete synopsis
together in 30 minutes or less. Shape up your ideas into a viable outline
and get it done.
