Lois Winston, award-winning author, explains the difference between a character-driven story versus a plot-driven story and how to find the right balance for your novel. She explains that mysteries are generally more plot driven. Mystery readers want to solve the puzzle along the way, so they are more focused on the story than the characters. However, you have to have a balance. Readers always care about the characters in a book, so even in a plot-driven story you must have well-developed characters. Likewise, in a character-driven story, such as a romance novel, you also have to have a strong plot. </div><div class='asl-wikipage-media'><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-00-67/LoisWinstonCharacterDrivenvsPlotDrivenStories.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../LoisWinstonCharacterDrivenvsPlotDrivenStories.mp4</a></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video</div>
