A lot of us deal with sagging middles — and we’re not just talking about our physiques! This session will explore why and how a novel might lose steam half-way through the telling, and how to address the slow-down. We will look at techniques for making your middle not only engaging but essential to the very essence of your story by injecting action, upping the stakes, developing character flaws, and introducing secondary plot lines to propel your novel into its final satisfying act. Through exercises and examples from your own works-in-progress, we’ll aim to tighten up and invigorate the core of your book.
