What I’m Up to Monday Afternoon
Escape the Plot Forest Summit
My talk is Monday, the 20th at 2pm CST.
About this Talk
Join us for a LIVE discussion of adding food and place to your novel. I discuss how and why you shouldn’t leave your characters hungry.

This summit has become a staple of many writers’ calendars, and not just because the talks are deep and applicable: you’ll also appreciate the firm code of conduct that keeps things feeling friendly, low-key, and non-icky.
As one past attendee put it: “I love how anything Daniel touches seems absent from bullies, hate speech, rudeness, etc. It feels very peaceful to be part of this group.”
And as one former speaker said, “I’ve never seen such an engaged audience. Like 3000 writers will follow you off a cliff.”
This year’s talks include:
low stress outlining
designing compelling scenes
creating memorable locations
the power of deliberate practice for writers
revising with character-first writing
roads to publishing your novel
And many, many more!
By the end of this summit, you’ll walk away with a fresh toolkit to handle any plotting challenge, whether you’re plotting your first novel or refining your sixth.
👉 Ready for the full experience?
I can’t wait to see you there!
Best,
