When we talk about the middle of a novel, it often seems like we’re talking about one continuous lump of time, but the middle of the novel actually has two distinct parts. Understanding and utilizing the differences between these two parts can improve the pacing and help demonstrate your character’s growth.
Comment Question: Do you find it difficult to conceptualize the middle as containing two parts?

This makes total sense. Thank you!
Thanks! As you talked I envisioned some of my writing and the quarters worked. This will be helpful with new material.
I didn’t know there are two parts to the middle! I wish we had Novel Boot Camp every month! Thank you, Ellen.
I’ll second that! Wish I’d known this about writing the middle part months ago. Thanks Ellen, your videos are always so clear.
