82 CHAPTER 7 Keep It Moving in the Middle. 16 CHAPTER 3 The Foundations of Conflict. 8 CHAPTER 1 What a Great Story Is Really All About. People like John Grisham, who dined monthly on Writer’s Digest magazine. That would come as news to all the young writers who were instructed by teachers, editors, books, and articles. Frankly, I get a little miffed when someone says fiction writing can’t be taught. You can practice them and put them to work for you. Most aspects of the craft of writing fiction can be learned. You want all these things happening because that’s what makes the magic connection in this alchemy we call fiction. It doesn’t matter what genre you write in. You want to tell stories that wrap readers up and get them lost in a world you’ve created, with colorful characters and plots that don’t let up. You want readers to be moved, entertained, maybe even enlightened. You tell stories because you want people to read them. Once you get a character with a problem, a serious problem, “plotting” is just a fancy name for how he or she tries to get out of the predicament.
