Liar, Liar, Plot on Fire

About Liar, Liar, Plot on Fire

You've finished your draft and now it's time to think about revisions. But how do you know where to start? How do you know how much of your story you should revise?

This course started as a quick, 5-question flowchart that can expose some of the most critical problems I see in early story drafts. But the lessons inside take that learning even deeper. The first revisions you do on a draft should be the ones that affect the whole story. Because if you do need rewrites, you want to be as efficient as possible about making those changes.

This course is fully digital and mobile-phone friendly. Whether you're checking in for your lessons on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or cell phone, you'll always have access to your content. 

Got questions? Most lessons allow commenting, so pop on down to the bottom of (nearly) any lesson and share your thoughts.

Liar Liar Plot on Fire technical view

Welcome to Liar, Liar, Plot on Fire 

My name is Sue, and I am a professional storysmith. And I can tell you, from my years of experience as a developmental editor for character-driven fiction, that most people don’t write a perfect plot in the first story draft. Not even the multi-published, bestselling authors. So if you’re stressing out about getting it right, you’re in good company.

This training is perfect for fiction writers who:

  • Want to write gripping stories about people who become better versions of themselves
  • Just finished a draft but don't know where to start editing
  • Tend to struggle with constantly rewriting and tweaking a manuscript
  • Want a quick, efficient way to analyze their draft for fundamental plot problems
  • Like using easy-to-follow frameworks that tie into deeper subject matter learning

You'll start by watching the full 45-minute training video that covers the entire method, including why it's important, the psychology behind the technique, how to use the flowchart for your WIP, and 4 unique examples of the Plot Diagnosis technique in action.

Then, I break down the video into 15 bite-sized lessons—each with new insight and tips that are not part of the video itself—that focus on each individual part of the training. Do it all at once or in tiny chunks that fit into your schedule. 

This course will teach you how to spot critical plot problems in your own first draft before spending time and money on critiques and developmental edits.
