How to Find Your Story
Jeff Gerke
How To Find Your Story is an interactive system that helps character-first novelists create thrilling plots with a satisfying structure.
This system begins with what you know--your amazing characters--and takes you step-by-step through the process of designing a dynamic plot that will keep readers up late tearing through your pages.
How To Find Your Story applies the three major components of plot and produces a storyline that portrays your characters in the perfect light, includes all the elements that make a story satisfying, and sends it all zinging forward with white knuckle suspense.
But How To Find Your Story is no formula. It's simply great fiction fundamentals that help you take your terrific characters and place them in an organized, fast-moving story.
How To Find Your Story consists of a 79-page teaching guide--laid out beautifully in full typeset, like a print book--and three versions of the plot development worksheets.
One version is the primary worksheet developed in full color forHow To Find Your Story. The second is a black and white version to be used either for printing out and filling in the form in paper copy or to simply have a hard copy of the work you've done in the worksheet. The third is a multi-column version that allows you to take up to three co-protagonists through the system simultaneously.
How To Find Your Story is the solution for every novelist who has ever been told her story is slow or hard to follow. Don't meander for three hundred pages. Don't wonder where the story is going. Don't leave brilliant characters stuck in the thick mud of an aimless story. Never let another reader get away.

I found How To Find Your Story especially helpful in the planning/prewriting stages. It zeroed in on the setting and how it would affect the story. It also helped clarify the major plot points. It pointed out areas I needed to research more. It also helped me with the character's main "knot." Each of my main characters had several conflicts, and this forced me to identify the main conflict and focus on its resolution.
