I have just done this exercise using the novel draft I have. It has illuminated what I must do to get through the quicksand that is the middle of this story. Thank you.
This is brilliant. I attended your talk at LitHouse in Denver and taking your idea, have started to reverse outline my draft. A daunting task. I think I'll try this exercise first - base it on the story as I hope it will work - and then apply it to the reverse outline. A long row, but I think it will really give me results. Thank you!
OK, I have to note this has really worked, particularly in my opening chapters. I've gotten a causality and tension that was missing. All Kudos to Matt.
