Write Compelling Plots

Amanda Apthorpe

Sinossi

We are enthralled by stories – tales told around the campfire, acted on stage, written down, filmed, painted, danced and sung. Why? Because we want to be entertained, to be inspired, to escape, to enter virtual worlds, to understand and to relate to others like and unlike ourselves.
 
It’s said that there are only seven storylines, but those seven have generated an extraordinary number of tales because their creators have told them from their own perspectives, their own point of difference.
 
The fourth book in Amanda Apthorpe's Write This Way series, 'Write Compelling Plots’, identifies the difference between plot and story, guides external and internal structural organisation and explains the significance of the narrative arc. You will discover how your central character’s desire, their limitations and their fear entwine to create the conflict that will drive your story. Drawing on the content within these pages, and your own point of difference, you too can create compelling plots.
 
In addition, this book explores the elements of setting and description. Part 3: Editing Toolbox identifies and corrects common editing errors in creative writing.

The Devil's Dictionary

Ambrose Bierce

This timeless work of biting satirical wit presents an A-to-Z lexicon of common English terms, and what we actually mean by them. The renowned author Ambrose Bierce produced classic works in a range of genres, from fantasy and horror to realistic tales drawn from his experience in the Civil War. Among his most beloved books is The Devil’s Dictionary, a work of wry humor that remains one of the funniest assessments of American language and manners. Through epigrams, essays, vignettes, and verse, Bierce skewers religion, class, politics, romance, and more.  Included, you’ll find such pithy definitions as:  ·      Acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow from but not well enough to lend to.  ·      Bride, n.: A woman with a great future behind her.  ·      Consult, v.: To seek another's approval of a course already decided on.  And many others.

Conversational German Dialogues...

Language Mastery

LOOK, NOBODY'S GOING TO SUGARCOAT IT - GERMAN HAS A REPUTATION
Four grammar cases. Crazy long words. Those guttural sounds that make your throat hurt.
Everyone's heard the jokes. Your friends probably laughed when you said you were learning German. "Good luck with that," they said.
But here's what nobody tells you: German gets a bad rap it doesn't deserve.
The truth? If you speak English, you're already halfway there. German and English are linguistic cousins - thousands of words are nearly identical. "Water" is "Wasser." "Book" is "Buch." You already know more German than you think.
The real problem isn't German itself. It's how most people try to learn it - drowning in grammar tables before they can even say "Guten Tag."
"Conversational German Dialogues" by Language Mastery flips that approach completely.
HERE'S WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS:
✓ 100+ real conversations by native German speakers - the German people actually use in Berlin, Munich, and Vienna
✓ Two-speed audio: Start slow to nail pronunciation, then speed up as your brain catches on
✓ Story-driven learning that's actually interesting - vocabulary just sticks while you're entertained
✓ Grammar you absorb naturally - no memorizing tables, just learning like kids do
✓ Quick comprehension checks so you know you're progressing
✓ Practical vocabulary for real situations
IN 30 DAYS YOU'LL:
✓ Stop being intimidated and start enjoying German
✓ Understand native speakers without panicking
✓ Speak with confidence (even if your grammar isn't perfect yet)
✓ Open doors to career opportunities in Europe's largest economy
No grammar drills. No boring textbooks. No feeling stupid.
Just real German that makes sense. The kind that gets you talking.
READY TO PROVE EVERYONE WRONG ABOUT GERMAN BEING "TOO HARD"? START NOW.
