Series of novels and dramatica

Postby zeitenflug » Jan 06, 2013 9:03 am

Hi there,

I'm plotting out a possible trilogy, perhaps more, for the YA sector. I've done two outlines for book 1 and 2 respectively, and now I'm stuck on book 3. My deadline to get the trilogy approved approaches, so I'd appreciate some creative input. The first two books are fast paced, however, I can't keep it up putting the same MC as MC, because it doesn't make sense to give him a new personal problem everytime. It's about a couple of friends that discover that they can practice magic together, until a new student comes to town and stirs up things. This new student is the protagonist of the series.

How can I use dramatica to plot out a whole series of novels?

Tom.
