Mastering the Playbook: Strategic Moves for Big Wins
Explaining a player's past performance is sometimes key to understanding their current drive or strategy. However, it's crucial to weave in this history without slowing down the live action with constant flashbacks to events before the current match. Here are some tips to keep the game flowing!
The 5 w’s of story – where, what, why, who and when – can all change to create variety and interest. None of these elements must change. The characters in your novel or your setting could remain fairly constant. Yet change opens up possibilities for new developments and intriguing new scenarios. These keep your novel exciting and interesting. To avoid your story stagnating in a single location, shift somewhere new – another town or country, from the city to the countryside or vice versa. Make sure any change of setting makes sense in relation to the story.
When the match clock is ticking and the score's tight, every play counts!
This is just the kickoff for a series of posts all about game strategy and player development. I'll be sharing more tips in upcoming matches. Don't forget to comment with what you want to see covered next!
Coach A
It’s great that you share these tips with young and aspiring writers. Even though they may not be writing novels, I believe it will be very useful for them to learn something new from a really skilled writer like you. I’d be glad to hear some recommendations on how a writer can develop the plot without cutting down chapters (I often see it in the books of young writers). Anyway, thank you for this post, it is very informative!
Coach B
I totally agree on the last point, but I also think it'd be awesome to explore how to correctly build relationships between star players. That would be super interesting!
