Save the Cat! The Ending Beats

Save the Cat! The Ending Beats

Tijd: 21:30
In today's episode, I'm going to walk you through the beats that make up the end of a story, or the final section of Blake Snyder's Save the Cat! (STC!) beat sheet so that you can efficiently outline (or write) your novel. Here's a preview of what's included:
[01:45] A recap of the last three episodes (episodes #47, #48, and #49)/
[03:15] The average novel is about 80k words, and this section (the end) is about 20k of them. If you write 1,500-word scenes, you're looking at about 14 scenes here.
[03:40] Some of the beats are single scene beats while others are multi-scene beats. I will tell you which is which!
[04:20] Beat #14 is the five part finale! And this beat is all about resolving all the problems that were raised in act one and act two. It's also about showing how much your protagonist has changed since page one.
[05:45] Five Part Finale Part 1: Gathering the Team.
[07:00] Five Part Finale Part 2: Executing the Plan.
[08:35] Five Part Finale Part 3: High Tower Surprise.
[10:15] Five Part Finale Part 4: Dig Deep Down.
[12:15] Five Part Finale Part 5: Execution of the New Plan.
[15:00] Beat #15 is the final image. And this is a single scene beat that shows how much your protagonist has changed since the opening image.
[18:25] Key points and episode recap.

So helpful

I’ve never been one to listen to podcasts. This one is the exception. She tells it so clearly and with understanding of the listening writer. Her advice is sound and the podcast is setup in such a way that you really understand but also take away the key points that are summarised at the end. Only complaint: I want more of this 😄 Following with interest and advise you to do the same

Favourite podcast

This is my favourite podcast right now. (: Everything is explained very clearly and it’s easy to listen to. The episode about imagining the ideal reader for your book is my favourite so far, I think that will really help to make my book better.
