Jan O’Hara recently made Twitter history by starting the #FreetheRealPorter movement about my recent interviewee Porter Anderson. She also stood up for my lace curtains, because of course all the right people understand about lace curtains. She’s the voice of the Unpublished Writer on Writer Unboxed, secretly a family physician in real life, and addicted to citrus fruit. And today she’s going all-out, hosting a guest post from The Art & Craft of Story: 2nd Practitioner’s Manual, in which I explain exactly how to use your protagonist’s freedom of will to get them in a half-nelson and continue ratcheting the tension on them until your story implodes.
As Jan likes to say: “See? Win-win scenarios really do exist!”
