Why Literary Novels Are Hard to Write: The Sagging Middle

One type of novel in particular seems to be growing in popularity these days: literary novels.

Literary novels are novels about people and relationships – not as much about action or external factors.

The challenge with literary novels is what’s known as the “sagging middle”, the middle of the story, where it just kind of drags.

In this tactic-filled episode, Lana McAra unveils techniques fiction novel writers, like you, can use to energize your literary novel and avoid the dropoff at the sagging middle.

This is very important because when your reader feels things start to sag and drag, they could put the book down and move onto something else. Your fiction novel writing must be #Unputdownable in order to keep your readers with you until the end.

With each character and each setting, hundreds of details must be compiled and organized – far too many for a writer, like you, to keep them cataloged in your brain.
