Write a Bestseller (The Meta-Pacing Technique)
11If you want to know how to write a book, or how to improve your writing, this video is for you.
What's the difference between the 99% of books that are completely forgotten, and that 1% that become bestsellers?
Well, many things. But the one thing bestsellers have in common is that the reader CAN'T STOP READING.
I'm a bestselling Author of Scifi/Fantasy, and in this video, I'm going to teach you one simple trick to take your stories from "pretty good" to "5 stars every time" - and it's all about pacing.
So, what's this amazing thing you can do to improve your pacing?
Most writers know that developing a good story requires making a promise,
and delivering that promise to your readers. But don't just promise the resolution of the plot itself; create multiple plots in the form of side quests, or side stories. That way, you have smaller promises and pay-offs throughout the book, which will keep your readers more engaged while
they wait for the big pay-off at the end of the story. The way I do this, is through structure - and it's how I create a fast-paced story that feels like it's heading somewhere, even during slow moments.
So what is this structure? And how does it improve pacing?
In this video, I break it down for the aspiring writers and indie authors out there!
