Plots Unlimited: A Creative Source for Generating a Virtually Limitless Number and Variety of Story Plots and Outlines
By Tom Sawyer and Arthur David Weingarten The publisher, Ashleywilde, Inc. (ashinfo@ashleywilde.com)
PLOTS UNLIMITED is a must – an essential tool - for every fiction writer whose artistic vision needs a practical boost, an assist in putting that inspiration for a literary tour de force or blockbuster into workable form. This unique book, based on the powerful award-winning computer software program used by thousands of professionals and teachers worldwide, is a veritable thesaurus of exciting, inventive plot twists and story moves – 5,600 of them - offering the writer a virtually limitless number of story possibilities and permutations which can be quickly, easily combined to form tightly structured story outlines. PLOTS UNLIMITED will help you fill holes in your novel or screenplay-in-progress - or build a complex story from scratch - in a very short time! Containing more than 200,000 possible plot combinations, PLOTS UNLIMITED is a compendium of thousands of specific imagination-jogging story suggestions – brief plot segments that are linked to from 2 to 14 others that move your story forward (With PLOTS UNLIMITED you can even work backward!), each in a slightly different direction; these in turn are linked to others, and so on, forming a solid continuity. Covering virtually every aspect of human relationships, from mistaken judgment to romantic misadventures to vengeance, crime and more - all of the material in PLOTS UNLIMITED embodies that essential element of both drama and comedy: conflict - characters in opposition to other characters, their situations or their environment. Fun to use, with PLOTS UNLIMITED the writer develops his or her own original material - quickly creating professional stories - stories that sell. Co-author Tom Sawyer has written nine network TV pilots and one hundred produced network teleplays, both comedy and drama. He was Head Writer/Producer of the long-running hit, Murder, She Wrote, for which he wrote 24 episodes, and of its spinoff series, The Law & Harry McGraw. He is co-librettist/lyricist of JACK, a contemporary opera about John F. Kennedy that recently premiered in Dublin. Mr. Sawyer, who knows storytelling, has this to say about plotting: "Every professional writer knows there are no new plots. They were all used up before Shakespeare picked up a pen. What all of us do is put these tried-and-true stories through our own unique filters to make them our own. That’s what PLOTS UNLIMITED is all about."
