The Steam Engine: Plot Systems for Irresistibly Spicy Serials (Part 2 of 4)
In this four-day, hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to build bingeable high-heat romance series.
In day two of four, you'll learn efficient techniques for transforming your story beats into compelling scenes using Sudowrite's core drafting tools. We'll focus on maintaining momentum while drafting Act I, using tools like Draft, Scenes, Write, and Chat to keep your story moving. You'll discover how to balance story pacing with romance development, and how to hit key story beats without losing the emotional thread.
Students will leave with several completed scenes, a clear process for maintaining drafting momentum, and practical strategies for reaching their daily word count goals while staying true to their story bible and series arc.
This session will be led by: John & Manon
Who's this session for? Authors writing spicy romance or erotica-adjacent series who want a repeatable plot system, clear heat escalation, and sustainable production.
