AUGUST 2006
 

NT multi-published author Shelley Bradley presented her Storyboarding workshop. Hate the endlessly blinking cursor? Endless rewriting because you can't "see" your plot up front? Know the high points of your plot, but want to flesh out details? Have multiple subplots to juggle? Pacing problems? Struggling with getting your synopsis written? Storyboarding for the Story Challenged is here to help.

Storyboarding uses a different format and a different part of the brain to help you construct or reconstruct your plot. Part visual, part analytical, this method allows you to plot a story skeleton or put all the flesh on its bones, all the way down to the last drop of sweat--whichever you prefer. It also allows you to juggle story elements, while eliminating a flagging pace, and enables you to write a rich, focused synopsis that sells.

Shelley is the author of nine historicals and two new contemporaries for Berkley Sensation, of which the most recent, Strip Search, is in bookstores now. She also writes for Samhain Publishing and her August release, Naughty Little Secret, will be available on the 29th.
