Discovering Your Plot - Think...

M.A. Lee

What do writers want from plot?
What do writers need from plot?
Are those questions the same? Not really. As wordsmiths, we writers know that want and need are two different words.
· The want is a circumstance that we writers can control. We want plot specifics to help us craft story and exceed reader expectations.
· The need is a circumstance of obligations from reader expectations of story. While readers may want the comfort of the genre elements (the tropes), they also wish to have their interest and curiosity piqued.
Can we writers deliver on the expectations and the surprises in order to please our readers? That’s the question that Discovering Your Plot answers.
This guidebook covers plot structure and the necessities of genre expectations so we writers can anticipate what readers want. It explores the six most common plot structures and has a detailed examination of 12 major sections in all novels, no matter the genre.
By the end of Discovering Your Plot¸ writers will have the tools to construct a story as well as diagnose problems with pacing, tension and suspense, and sequencing events.
Discovering Your Plot is Book 6 in the Think like a Pro Writer series and the second of the Discovering set of how-to guidebooks for writers at all skill levels. While the approach is for newbies, every writer can benefit from this fresh look at any novel’s framework.
With her two other pen names, author M.A. Lee has published over 50 titles of fiction and nonfiction.

Are Your Kids Psychic? - And How...

Eric Stillwell

Are Your Kids Psychic by Eric Stillwell offers a simple test you can perform at home to find out. The book also covers other, more elaborate tests as well as information on psychic phenomena and why we have these latent abilities. 
Psychic ability might be an inherent but latent aspect of consciousness, accessible when the mind transcends normal sensory filtering. By cultivating awareness through meditation, intuition practice, and altered states, humans may tap into a wider reality field where these abilities become natural expressions. 
An even simpler explanation is that we are biological creatures living in a biological world that is interconnected on so many levels we take for granted. Whether the fact that an extensive mycelium network runs underground connecting trees and plants, or the sensory perceptions of animals, or how a dog knows you are a kind person or not, there is much evidence for something greater than ourselves. 
Children have not been indoctrinated at an early age and, as such, are open to many things. 
If you know that your child was naturally psychic, wouldn’t you want to ensure that they could maximize this gift rather than bury it in our societal trap? 
"A wonderful home experiment that my kids enjoyed and wowed my wife and me with the results." Morgan Jones
