Save The Cat for Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror: A Beat Sheet to Keep Your Wonder (and Dread) on Track - David Somerfleck Save the Cat is a unique approach toward plotting and outlining novels based on beats that most readers will be familiar with from movies. Can it work to write novels? Yes, and here's how it can be us...

When I started my #sciencefiction #dystopian #speculativefiction #novel, I relied on #savethecat for guardrails so my #worldbuilding wouldn't overflow. Here's what I picked up along the way: boldly.blue/save-the-cat/

Save the Cat — Advice for a Barista (and Maybe You):

A barista knows I'm a writer. He's a burgeoning writer who just read #SavetheCat and wanted my thoughts. Oh, I have thoughts 🤔. Here's the advice I gave—maybe it's useful for someone else. 🧵

#writersky #screenwriting #fictionwriting #writers

I read about #SaveTheCat story beats. Downloaded worksheets. I haven't really immersed myself in it yet. I don't have time yet.

I bought the book "Save the cat! Writes a novel" by Jessica Brody. Omg. Guess what. I haven't have time to sit and read it.

I bought the audiobook of it on[...]

Wow! The town looks magnificent! I believe that's meant to be Stratford-Upon-Avon, which sounds like a name you'd pompously make up to lampoon absurd, British town-names, but nope, it's a real one.

Awwwwww, give that sweetie a scritch! Okay, we like Shakespeare and we're rooting for him to... I don't know, write Hamlet or whatever.

#Stratford looks incredible, well done, & #Shakespeare has his #savethecat (AKA #petthedog) moment, thus sealing that I'm fond of him, also.

Anyone who visibly, verifiably likes #cats & #dogs in #movies is going to score a lot of points w/ #KCookandCatsco (or you could lose a lot).
