Bücher von Rebecca Laffar-Smith

When I was in primary school my teacher told me that all stories have a beginning, middle, and ending. All stories, every single one ever told is made up of these three basic parts. It's really quite simple. Of course, it's really not simple at all because it doesn't tell us how stories begin, what happens in the middle, and how they come together to produce a satisfying ending.The Plot Storming book unlocks that key to the core elements of story structure. Rebecca Laffar-Smith shares an inside look at what makes the stories that touch our hearts and change our lives compelling and universal. With examples from popular fiction, Rebecca breaks down The Hero's Journey and the foundation of story development, character creation, and target market.Once you understand the fundamental roots of story, it transforms the way you write. It will also transform the way you see stories for the rest of your life. And it makes planning the stories you'll write much less confounding than that simple concept of a beginning, middle, and ending.This is a workbook contains detailed worksheets to help you through every stage of the Plot Storming process from idea to character to outline and is a writers favourite companion for each book or series you long to write.

Something dark and primal slithers within. Tori Sapera's normal life ends the day she is kidnapped and offered up as sacrifice to the Sacred Mother. She wants answers, but the snake worshippers' ritual transforms her. Now, Tori is tormented by a creature within she cannot control, a primal animal drives every action, every feeling.

Now Tori faces a fate worse than death, but can he save her? Can he save anyone? Together, Tori and Lucas search for answers, and a cure, but more secrets lurk behind every clue. Can they resist the cult's dark purpose, and each other, before it's too late?

Destiny doesn't ask your permission. Sixteen-year-old Niah hates seeing the dead starship captain in her face. It's a constant reminder that she only exists to complete his mission: to save the world. She was supposed to be a perfect copy, a clone, but she's not. Something went wrong, a genetic mistake making her someone new. That genetic mistake is killing her. After a two-hundred year journey, Starship Elixr is returning to Nar. They finally found the cure that will save the planet from eternal darkness. But no one counted on Niah and her sister Wish, the backup plan of a malfunctioning droid and a now crew-less ship. The people of Nar have waited lifetimes for Captain Bellamy's return… But not everyone wants to be saved. In the depth of a world's despair, Lord Oliver saw an opportunity.

And the life of a young girl is a small price to pay for power. Niah needs to save her sister. If she can fix her spaceship she might just save the world. But can she save herself?
