Dean Gloster Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

@AshlinPotter There's a nice overview of the 3-Act structure and its role in the opening of the novel on pages 174-180 of Jeff Gerke's The First 50 Pages. And making progress on subplots are nice to keep the middle of the manuscript from sagging. 2/3

Wow. This book. ALL THIRTEEN: The Incredible Cave Rescue of the Thai Boys' Soccer Team by @soontornvat. Astonishingly great. Gripping. Heart-Pounding. Moving. I read it in one fierce gulp, and lots of pages briefly blurred as my eyes got wet. Just. Wow. Read it. https://t.co/PQnoJ1oMKh

Coffee was just a way of stealing time that by rights should belong to your slightly older self—Terry Pratchett in THUD. Steal away, time thieves. #coffee https://t.co/mLZ6jNKhTG

In related book news, @jasminewarga's A ROVER'S STORY is amazingly great, and you should all get a copy and read it. Books about robots are often about what it is to be human, to face the darkness at the end of light, and to choose to do what matters. ❤️ https://t.co/2jWYhxfYQq

@AshlinPotter One approach that works for many writers in matching the internal journey to the plot is set out in Lisa Cron's Story Genius. A different approach with a lot of wisdom (but don't take his overly-complicated steps literally) is John Truby's Anatomy of Story. 3/4
