Before You Proceed

SUCCESS IN THE FORGE REQUIRES DEDICATION AND PERSISTENCE

With 60 days to complete your novel, The Fiction Forge moves at a more relaxed pace than our 30-Day Full Throttle program... but that doesn't mean it won't put you to the test. We recommend joining only if you are fully committed both in time and in desire to keep up with consistent progress.

Interaction is key and we recommend you engage with all suggested exercises and live discussion during accountability check-ins.

  • Avoiding “second act sag” with plot twists and tricks to keep the audience invested as the story progresses.
  • How subplots can help and hurt your story, and how to get the most out of them.
  • Making sure your obstacles do more than just kill time before the big finale.

  • How to make a low point that doesn’t feel contrived or forced, but naturally fits into the rest of the story.
