Special Lesson 1: Ensuring Coherence & Steady Progress With Bardsy’s Minimum Complete Story (MCS)

Special Lesson 1: Ensuring Coherence & Steady Progress With Bardsy’s Minimum Complete Story (MCS)
Host: Pamela Raleigh & Adam Simon

In this workshop, writing coaches Adam Simon and Pamela Raleigh introduce the Minimum Complete Story (MCS): a 90-second oral recitation of your novel's complete narrative. The MCS is a powerful tool to ensure story coherence and aid development. Learn why speaking the MCS aloud engages "active memory" and storytelling instincts far better than writing it down, making it crucial for testing a novel's overall coherence and refinement.

The five elements of a complete narrative
The four stages of MCS development
How to test your novel's coherence and refine its plot
If you want a highly effective method to structure, refine, and pitch your novel, this lesson is for you.
